From the sound of things, Brodie needed a lung transplant, and after being hospitalized he never got healthy enough to qualify for one. According to Meltzer, had he been able to get a transplant (also a problem for a guy his size), he would have had to live "heavily immunocompromised and take a lot of anti-rejection drugs".
In all likelihood, his career was going to be over no matter what. And they still don't know what caused it. Terrible.
