Laura Branigan also died of a brain aneurysm. It's so sad. If you're having a terrible headache (a symptom of a brain aneurysm), wouldn't you go to a doctor to get it checked out? I find it tragically sad that these two great singers didn't seek medical help. If they had, they might still be with us today. sad

Edited to say, that I just looked up "symptoms of a brain aneurysm" online, and learned that some people who have a brain aneurysm have no symptoms of it. So it's very possible that Boni didn't have any symptoms, and died suddenly. sad

bad grammar edit
