The actor, as reported by Deadline, died from an aneurysm. An aneurysm is an artery that has enlarged due to a weakened arterial wall. Even though an aneurysm rupture can result in catastrophic complications, it frequently has no symptoms.

An aneurysm is a bulge or distention of the artery caused by a weakening of the artery wall.

The majority of aneurysms are not harmful and exhibit no symptoms. Some, however, have the potential to burst at their most serious state, resulting in potentially fatal internal haemorrhage.
