This is the kind of story that scares me the most. There's no obvious reason for him to die which means it was:

1. An illness hidden from the public

2. An illness that was never discovered or was caught far too late.

3. Murder (Seriously, if someone is smart enough and evil enough they can kill you without anyone ever knowing.)

There are a lot of possibilities.

The most likely, though, is that he was open about having cancer, and had been undergoing chemotherapy for brain cancer, not the safest thing. While he was declared to be in remission, chemotherapy drugs can cause cumulative damage by themselves - they're generally poisons that hurt the cancer more than the other tissues - and that can result in problems later.

I suspect a structural thing - an aneurism or something similar, caused by the cancer, and triggered by a harder-than-usual workout. But it could have been something else, too. The cancer might've metastasized, and found its way to someplace else in his body, unnoticed. He might've had some very weird complication to the drugs, not unheard of. He might've had something completely unrelated, like a bacterial infection.

(A friend died in the 1980s, in 'perfect' health, but he caught one of those random 'flesh eating' viruses that sometimes hit at just the right time. By the time they realized it wasn't the flu, his internal organs had been pretty much destroyed. About 5 people in a million catch them in any given year, and seldom survive because they go like wildfire, and are caught too late to save the victims.)
