one may suffer a stroke from an aneurysm. The causality arrow is backwards, as written. I don't expect celebrity reps and entertainment reporters to know enough anatomy/medicine on their own to get that right, but it's in the lede... C'mon man. Scan the wikipedia article on the medical condition you're writing about before publishing.
