Confused!

My boyfriend, who was 26 yrs old, died very suddenly. He had just came home from the Military in May.  We were watching TV and he started shaking uncontrollably. It lasted for a very short time, then he started making a moaning noise, as though he was gasping for air. By the time the paramedics got there he was gone. They tried to revive him but unfortunately could not. They said he went into cardiac arrest. At first I thought it was some sort of seizure, but after doing some research I'm not sure anymore. He had been complaining of a stomach ache and being a little nauseous but nothing alarming. He was not a drug user, but would drink alcohol daily. I know an autopsy is being performed but I'm hoping to maybe get some advice before then. My world has been turned upside down and I want answers.
Please help!!

Hi. Very sorry for your loss. I know this is probably hard, but I would be interested in toxicology reports, especially if the m.e. Is unable to determine an exact cause.please advise and take care, GM

I am sorry for your loss......
I had a friend that died from an anurisum in the back of his head. He complained of stomach ache and being a little nauseous just before he passed into the new life. Every one of us has are time to pass on and all of us will. I would suggest you make the best of this moment in time as it will never come again. Tomorrow isn't now and yesterday isn't now. Live for today and know a greater power will jion us and comfort us when it it our time to pass into the next stage of out being.
Sorry for your loss but I believe he is with you in a different relm that we can only know when it is our time.

I am truly sorry that you have had to suffer such a loss.....
It would be very hard to say here that drink was a contributing factor in his death. I know it is hard but trying to second guess what the PM will reveal is not a good idea and sadly this will not bring him back. I would suggest that you and/or his next of kin send a letter to the Doctors that treated him or the hospital where he was treated asking any questions you feel need to be answered, if you are unhappy with the results of the PM then you need to talk with the coroner to get answers....
