I caught the tail end of his speech on Raw on Monday. It was eerily like he was given his own Eulogy. His complexion was very red and purplish and had very prominent external jugular veins. All which could have been a sign of hypertension and heart disease. RIP Warrior.
Yes, good assessment. Notice the very prominent JVD (jugular vein distention) extending all the way up his neck into his jaw. Looks like a classic hypervolemic CHF (congestive heart failure) patient. You see JVD like this anytime venous return is greater than the heart's ability to pump the blood back out. The most common cause is heart failure. Right sided heart failure to be exact. But the most common cause of right heart failure is left heart failure. Generally speaking the higher up the neck it extends, the higher the venous pressure. This is because gravity wants to pull the blood down naturally. Thus his JVD is profound. He should have been hospitalized on IV Lasix instead of giving a speech. There were many signs. He chose to ignore. Now he's dead.
Rex.
