...how and why Jonathan died so young, so unexpectedly:
the Medical Examiner found the cause of his "sudden cardiac arrest" was Acute (Type 2) Aortic Dissection. The wall of his aorta was weak and began leaking and tearing, then gave way. This is why he couldn't be "saved", in spite of all the extraordinary measures taken.
Why such a tragedy occurs in so young a man, with such a healthy lifestyle, we can't know.
The doctor said it was probably congenital.
