From the Telegraph

Very strange story. Apparently he was very fit. Apparently he was jogging on his wii-fit board when he died.  Apparently he had just told his mum that he was sitting down drinking port and had just ordered a kebab.

Yeah basically it's 'we don't know wtf it was that killed him so we'll invent a ludicrously broad umbrella term to explain it'.

People have been dropping dead in unexplained manners for millenia.  I'll not get worried due to the new label for "he just up and died".

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Slightly different.  When they cut you open and check your heart, congenital heart defects can be caught.

However, sometimes when they cut you open and check your heart, they're like 'WTF.  Nowt wrong here'.  So they do the rest of the organs.  And they're all fine.

And then you're just another statistic that scares the fuck outta me.

I'm in the camp that thinks pathologists not finding anything is much different from everything being fine.  Since, you know, he's tits-up I can say with confidence that something was/is indeed very wrong.  Congenital heart condition or voodoo doll, it's all SADS.

Maybe the Wii called him fat and he was mortally insulted.

Maybe it's a spelling mistake and rather being very fit, he was actually very fat owing to the kebabs and port and his heart called the his brain and said "I cannae take much more, Captain."

Seriously; kebabs and port - wtf is up with that?

That's good taste right there. Assuming its very expensive port and very Cypriot kebabs. In other words, a Greek gyro with Turkish spices.

Probably an aneurysm. Every once in a while you'll hear about that happening - a seemingly normal, healthy person will be exercising, and a tiny vessel in the brain will pop in the right place, dropping them.

Friend of mine had a very good friend at school that dropped dead right next to her when she was 15. As in standing up about to go into class then dead on the floor and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong. Freaky shit but really there are better things to be worried about, like shit I can actually take steps to prevent. Worrying about SADS is like worrying about meteorites, no matter how much thought and time you devote to it you aren't going to do much to stop a giant hunk of space rock that has your name on it.
