I’m so sorry to read about this story.  It’s my understanding he had a pre-existing heart condition, a congenital heart deformity, and I guess his implanted defibrillator, failed, and thus passes away so young.  It’s terrible to hear, and his EP (electrophysiologist- basically a subset of an interventional cardiologist - they basically do the procedures for heart valves, pacers, and defibs) or his staff is supposed to interrogate (evaluate the battery life) the device so they know the battery life and if needed get approval to change out.  It is a surgical procedure, but pretty common.

 

Anyway, regardless something happened.  Batteries don’t just typically die.  Once the battery life gets down to a certain percentage, MHC has to approve a replacement.  They are very very expensive, but lifesaving in many instances.

 

Thats what makes this so terrible.  He should’ve never passed at 39.  I’m sorry for his family.

Too young for any human. Parents are not suppose to bury their children. Prayers for his family and friends. 😢
