7. I hope you're ok, this must be very traumatic for you. You did all the right things, putting

your friend's welfare above the caution of waiting for police to arrive to get in.

I'm guessing a blood clot and/or stroke. They can happen after a physical trauma. Often blood thinners are administered afterwards to prevent this, to deter such an event. It could be that the activity of going to the clinic to get the staples out dislodged the undetected clot and it moved to a fatal location.

He vomited the brown gel substance into the sink, then dropped to his knees vomiting blood on the floor. He gets up, going into the living room to lay down, collapses on the way, bringing the tv down on top of him.

The gel substance is interesting, but is most likely a coagulated bodily fluid that he vomited. (Unless he had a history of drugs use, but it sounds large for meth or anything else, and why would it be in the sink?)

I'm so, so sorry for the loss of your friend. You couldn't have done anything more... I hope your friends are rallying around you and giving you the comfort you need.

Legal issues surrounding the hit-by-a-car circumstances are bound to arise if the driver was at fault. That could get complicated.
