The claim is it can't be diagnosed until after death. But wouldn't ct/mri scans show the damage while the person is still alive? From other articles I've read, there are behavioral, personality and cognitive changes that happen over time, some subtle, some glaring.
Why the reluctance to diagnose a potentially fatal disease?
