Identity	Someone with the misfortune of having an undiagnosed enlarged heart condition can experience sudden death because of strenuous exercise, high blood pressure, viral infection, or a weakening of the heart muscle. There is a possibility he was unaware of the disease.

There is a possibility he was unaware of the disease. That's what I was thinking too. It ain't gotta be all about drug abuse.
