Presuming the stress of travel, lack of sleep and illness likely contributed to it happening.
Very sad story.

Very sad story.
That has nothing to do with it, The aneurysm has been growing for years, and finally burst. If he had a complete physical they would have found it earlier, and repaired it.

Hmm, perhaps. I'm no doctor. But one would think blood pressure changes, dehydration or other physical factors might hasten or bring about the inevitable bursting. Seems too coincidental otherwise to me, but could definitely be wrong.
The repair on the lower aneurysm, DON'T LAUGH is a toy you played with as a kid. Its a net you stuck on one finger and the other end went on the finger of the other hand. When you pulled them apart the netting got tighter. thats the fix.
Thats it ! I wish everybody would get a sonogram or ultrasound on the aorta when they hit 40.

Its found sometimes by accident when a sonogram is checking the liver, kidneys and lower organs.
Read about the outbreak of MERS-Cov. It had a fatality rate of like 60%. The US was preparing for an apocalypse. Luckily, it mutated out of being so lethal.
...only it's made out of titanium, I believe....
Not sure if they use shape-memory Nitinol on those or not... (which is nickel-titanium)
We called them Chinese handcuffs. Not to be confused with a Chinese home run. Or a Chinese fire drill. We were strangely fascinated with China in the 60’s, even though there was a Chinaman’s chance that many of us would ever so much as visit China.
Ole JR is the survivor of an aortic aneurysm. I am one of the 20% or so. Besides Grant Wahl it also killed Jack Tripper.
You really have no idea. I thought I had a herniated disc in my back.
I have a thing like this in me now that functions as my aorta below my heart.
I should not be here. Why am I? I don't know and ask myself often. It was just about 3 years ago.

My wife's uncle had a dissecting aortic aneurysm. He somehow survived and was about to have a surgical repair. Basically everything aligned for him the key being that he was right by a hospital and the surgeon was immediately available. I think he has less than 5% chance of survival.
OK Joe, who do i complain to if and when it fails, and how long is it guaranteed for ? Very important.
'Course it does. Ya think if you leave that box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter.
Ted:
What's your point?
Tommy:
The point is, how do you know the Guarantee Fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, but we're not buying it. Next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Maybe there's a grease-job needed after 90,000 heartbeats or something...

My oldest sister (no-pic) was having lunch with one of her best friends. He started complaining about feeling bad so they cut the lunch short, but he couldn't get up. Called 911, rushed to the hospital, sister followed, She called her husband but before he could get there, they came out and told her her friend had died.
