so was his in his brain or heart? i know he was on tes.t/dec.a , if you already have one will the increase in b.p. make them more likley to pop?
If he literally collapsed and died instantly, I'll guess brain, a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. The aneurysm pops and floods the cerebral fluid with blood, the brain is snapped off, BANG.

anything cause them or just happends? high blood pressure?
The tendency toward them, that's congenital, something you're born with, just like any other weakness.
High/increased blood pressure triggers them and can blow them, but if you have an aneurysm you can have normal blood pressure, too and it can blow. High blood pressure doesn't make you GET an aneurysm unless you have a weakness in your arterial wall somewhere to begin with. Now a SUDDEN increase in blood pressure, as in heavy weight training (your blood pressure goes up like crazy when you weight train, even more than with cardio, think of those red faced power lifters), that's a different story.
He didn't get the aneurysm from weight training, or steroids, but could those two things have contributed to his early death

who's to say? He could have skipped his training yesterday, gotten cut off in traffic today, got pissed off and popped a vessel in the middle of rush hour traffic, too, and taken out a car full of commuters. If he'd never taken steroids, never lifted weights, maintained a normal body weight and gotten regular exercise he might have checked out 30 years from now, or he might have dropped dead in the middle of an orgasm.
Death is a crapshoot, only guys on death row know when their ticket will get punched, and sometimes they get curveballs, too.
