A member asked:
I know apoplexy means sudden death but why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rupture blood vessel: Apoplexy is a medical term, which can be used to describe a rupture or bleeding of vessel in the brain--"bleeding" in a stroke (formerly described as a cerebrovascular accident) with sudden loss of neurologic function. It does not actually mean sudden death.
