    I know him. He was a very popular man. Loved by everyone. Sorry he died. What caused it. I hope foul play wasn’t suspected. I know his leg was broken but nobody dies of a broken leg ain’t it?

      Broken leg can cause DVT or blood clot which can cause pulmonary embolism or stroke and a whole plethora of complications

    Loosing someone suddenly is much harder than seeing them suffer knowing they would die. Condolences to his family in Villa and DR

    My condolence to his family. Sudden death is never easy to deal with. I hope it was natural that may be easier for the family to deal with.
