Three months after he and his family moved from Los Angeles back to his home state of Texas, his wife heard a loud "CRASH!" in the basement. She ran downstairs, only to find her husband passed out on the floor. She called 911, and the medics arrived in less than 8 minutes.
It was too late.
He suffered from a massive heart attack and he hit the floor so hard that it caused brain damage. From the heart attack to the brain damage to the loss of oxygen to his brain, the plug was pulled 3 days later and he died.
The cause? Sleep apnea. His heart was so weakened by the apnea that it killed him. It still gets to me even to this day...

Was he actually diagnosed with osa or csa?
