    This sucks. Far too young, he will be missed. He sure made his mark in this world. RIP.

    A really iconic actor. He was one of those actors you couldn’t mistake for anyone else.

    His deadpan comedy chops were totally underrated.

    What should we be seeing?

    I had a total clean living buddy die at 42 because of an aneurysm. Sometimes it's just your time.

    Always a big fan of his, especially on The Wire and Fringe. Totally shocked when I saw this come across last week.....

    RIP, man that's sad. He seemed to always be in great shape, and just two days before his death he posted a twitter video about his dogs and he looked just fine. Damn.

    Is an aneurysm a natural cause?

    Are you being facetious or genuinely curious? An aneurysm isn't really a problem until it ruptures... Natural causes just mean no foul play. In the case of someone dying with a ruptured aneurysm it's because it largely goes undiagnosed and unless it happens to show up on some adjacent imaging or you're lucky and have some rare symptoms it's pretty much a death sentence/the way things go sometimes. Like people aren't typically going to just have an MRI done on their head randomly and unfortunately an aneurysm isn't just located in the brain.

    It's natural in the sense it could be caused by high BP that wasn't diagnosed, genetics or other issues that you unfortunately don't have control over. Ie it develops over time and once it ruptures (depending on location) it's a very fast decline.

    Was being serious, I usually associate "natural causes" with just getting old and dying, not from a specific illness/event. Like a heart attack I wouldn't consider a "natural cause" but I guess I was wrong. I'd put aneurysm in that category.

    I get where you're coming from now, and really sorry if I came across harsh. Personally it seems pretty cold on natural causes term with how loose it's used. Like once/if there is a medical examiner involved they might state heart attack/underlying factor but it'll still be natural causes etc.., that is unless it's determined there was some intervention to it being unnatural - ie accident/murder etc. etc..

    I wonder if they replace the VA for Sylens or just write the character out of the next game.
