I just read on NPR that the first report from the medical examiner showed he had an enlarged heart and that was likely the cause of his death.

An enlarged heart is one of the characteristics that often appear in those with sleep apnea. It sounds as if he may have died in his sleep from the news articles I've seen.
Untreated apnea the true culprit here? I don't know if we'll ever know, but it sure makes me want to make sure my mom stays compliant with her cpap!
