I went just last week to the funeral of a young cousin who was close to this guy's age. Left a wife and a couple of kids--died suddenly. I had another female cousin from an entirely different branch of the family tree (massive family I come from) who just dropped dead at age 55, totally unexpectedly.

You just never know.

It's never good, but in terms of knowing that the deceased's last moments weren't terrifying or somehow full of despair, it would be better if it was just a genetic oddity, a sudden death, and not a crime or substance abuse that did him in.
