Respiratory and cardiac conditions seemed to be the most likely causes of death: heart and lung problems, pneumonia of various types, strokes, heart rhythm abnormalities or sudden cardiac arrest, and so on. Ascending polyneuropathy killed some persons (ascending paralysis). Obviously, if the eosinophil count was not brought down, it could lead to death. Not being an expert, I can’t explain how that process occurred. A few persons also committed suicide in the acute phase of EMS.
