Except it doesn't actually exist
At least that's the current medical thinking. There are almost always underlying causes. In fact the medical world thinks there are always underlying causes, although in a tiny percentage they can't detect exactly what it was.
An acquaintance of mine, Joris (flatmate of girlfriend at the time), dropped dead on a basketball court at the age of 21. Fit as hell. Turned out he had a defect with one of the muscles around his heart, which just snapped as he was making a pass.
