Most people don't live through the procedure. I was only given about a 10% chance of surviving the surgery. He must have had a massive dissection to die that quickly.
10%... unbelievable... I ruptured my spleen and had to go to emergency surgery (after waiting an hour) and I thought I was bad...

Weren't there any symptoms that build up prior to him collapsing ?

None that would led to any suspicion of heart problems.
