Too true, very sad.

However, it is possible to survive a cardiac arrest.  It is just a more technical way of saying heart attack.  However, you would be right in saying that if he was at home on his own and had a cardiac arrest, and was not found for some time, then he would die from it.  There is a window of opportinity in which the heart can be restarted, but it is very short and must be done before the brain suffers irreparable oxygen deficit which would definitely result in (brain) death.

Not nice either way, but I was partly expecting it.  Too many concerts cancelled which, perhaps, should not have been booked at all.
