Thanks for the replies - i seen the report in the Cycling Weekly
explaining what happened etc.
It seems the impact caused a heart attack. It seems strange how the
human body reacts to trauma. You would think that superfit athletes
would stand high chances of surviving bad accidents due to their all
round fitness, but that isnt the case.
The same happened with Carsatelli in the Tour in 95. He suffered one
or two heart attacks after his crash

scary stuff. Look after yourselves out there guys and girls.
