AOL, it was a stroke. I recently had cause to learn a _little_
about them, when my Dad died of one.
AFAIK, about 80% of strokes
are "ischaemic": due to a blood clot, brought in from elsewhere,
interupting blood feed to part of the brain. A similar effect
can be caused by the other 20%, where a rupture allows blood to
leak into the inter-cellular spaces. (NB: I am not a doctor.)
