As far as the heart attack goes, I can see it being plausible. Considering the massive amount of stress that he puts on his body and the amount of steroids and other substances he could of taken, I wouldn't be surprised if his heart just gave in.
R.I.P
The heart attack is plausible, the fact that the condition was undiagnosed with whatever info we have received however is not in the least bit logical.
The information was obtained from collateral history retrospectively, and it's fairly easy to raise suspicion that he may have an impending fatal heart condition, especially for anyone who may recognize those symptoms. However, the failure to diagnose doesn't come from not knowing, but often due to not looking. Plus, clinicians are trained to think of common things first rather than rare complications.
For a 22 year old Australian, shortness of breath might be choking, (exercise induced) asthma, pneumonia, pneumothorax, all the common things. In the absence of other symptoms, congenital heard disease if symptomatic, should appear much earlier. High blood pressure for a young adult isn't uncommon, but it is only something you would only know if it was measured. This part is unclear, and I would have to say that at some point he did seek medical advice for some reason, for them to know that he had high blood pressure.
If anything good that should come out of this, is that you should look after yourself, get checked before delving into body building, and tell your parents you love them cause we'll never know when we're next to go.
