Sudden Dead Doctor Syndrome: 'Unknown' Causes Overtakes Cancer and Heart Disease as the Leading Cause of Death

Dr. Roger Hodkinson: "Sudden adult death syndrome, of which these physicians are probably examples of, is now the commonest cause of death, at least in Alberta, where I live.

It's never, ever happened before."
