My diagnosis is a small tear of the spleen. Lots of pain and slow internal bleeding until the pressure dropped to low to sustain him. This would also have caused lower oxygen levels to the heart and brain, contributing further to his condition. Could very well have been undiagnosed at the hospital, only by treatment of the rib injury symptoms and failing to diagnose what was really going on inside. Very sad.
I am truly saddened by this news. I hope Brian's family finds the support they need during a very difficult time. Rest in Peace sir.
Brian was actually more active I think on the Cancun assist board. You should probably inform them too since some of them do not cross over here.
What a shame. Brian was interesting to say the least but, he was active in the boards and his latest photos were quite impressive. I hope his family comes to peace with his passing but, more importantly his living.
His wife left a message on his MySpace page. Also can read his last couple comments about the accident. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=100621680
