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!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother and sister not long ago. At different times and the pain is deep and hurts even more. I hope that one day soon you can feel some kind of joy. He would want that for you.

I am going to post a clip to a song that I played at my sister funeral.. It is a beautiful song.

Try to rest and then rest some more.

I am so very sorry to hear of the sudden and unexpected passing of your b/f. He was so young, which makes it harder. I think the only way to find out what really happened is though the autopsy. If he drank alcohol daily, he might have had a drinking problem or maybe he accidenlty mixed alcohol with something, but only the results of an autopsy can get to the bottom of what really happened. We have all experienced the devistation that comes from the passing of a beloved one. I felt like "job" from the bible, I had 7 deaths in an 8 month period, which included my mother and my brother loss his first unborn child 2 weeks before Christmas. Please keep us updated on what happened and we will be able to help you with the grief process. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, Judy.
