Is there a medical term for this kind of death?

Death by natural cause.

greenpasture:


I am no doctor but some people feel cases like this might be pulmonary embolism. Which basically is the swift blockage of circulation to the heart by a blood clot from elsewhere in the body. I lost a very close relative in very similar circumstances.
Please see http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-embolism/home/ovc-20234736

The law in Nigeria actually mandates that all cases of sudden death require an autopsy before a death certificate is issued. It is rare though that the deceased family takes this line of doctors usually pass it off as "heart failure" ( without the autopsy) which it of course is, but this generalization robs us of precious data that might have helped us understand the precise nature of this cause of death and the possible risk factors to relatives.

I mean, an example of our lack of thought is clear in some of the more inane comments here.

I know the guy. His grand mother is still alive and she s from my village. The guy did not die in his sleep. He visited the village and complained he was feeling somehow. After that he went to get some drugs. He slumped infront of a pharmacy he went to buy drugs from in company of his wife. He was rushed to iyienu hospital ogidi and was confirmed dead at the hospital .
