    This is a sort of “but it’s weird that it happened twice” thing, but I had a friend out researching Orangutans in I think Indonesia and he dropped dead after (supposedly) recovering from a fever.

    Probably only a few years younger than your friend.

    I’ve not kept up with his research but I suspect the species is almost certainly declining worse than when he was there.

    Not sure what I’m saying, but yeah.

    Weird that it happened twice.

      Yeah in this case, he dropped dead in a university lab. Nobody else was with him. Fucker was a marathon runner. Nobody knows what happened, but nobody suspects foul play.
