In all honesty - sometimes tragic things just happen.

Childrens pastor at my church - fairly healthy lifestyle, rode his bike every morning - had a heart attack and died while riding his bike. He was young, exercised, etc. Stuff happens.

I've heard of snakes getting tangled in shed skins before and dying, both while shedding and post shed when a shed skin wasn't take out on time. It's rare, but it happens.

Sorry about the loss, it sucks when that kind of thing happens.
