Sudden death is a devastating experience, particularly when there is no apparent cause. Your wife might have had an underlying disease process that had gone undiagnosed. Cardiac disorders, especially dangerous arrhythmias, can be the cause of sudden death. Sleep apnea, which is common in PD patients (as is evidenced on this list) may also be a culprit. May you find peace during this difficult time. Your friends on this list care about you. -------- Sincerely Mary Ann
