Answer 1

I think he had asthma

Answer 2

he had an abnormal heartbeat, he died of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Answer 3

He had stopped taking a heart medication because he felt it made him sluggish.  He had a congenital heart problem that killed him on the court.  Difficult video to watch, i think espn has footage.  He and Bo Kimble were excellent they played at the same time Shaq was still at LSU.  Excellent story should read up on it.  Not his death but his life and frienship with Bo and Lionel Simmons.
