However, there are some important details to keep in mind:

• Her niece gave media the details of her aunt's heart disease.
• It has not yet been made public what kind of aneurysm is being reported and where.
• Her official cause of death has not been confirmed.
• No medical report has been made public that details the events surrounding her death.

It would therefore be inaccurate to state that a particular type of aneurysm caused her death.

What Is A Heart Aneurysm And How Does It Develop?

An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge that develops in the wall of a blood vessel due to weakness in that area. It can occur when the pressure of blood flowing through the vessel pushes against the weakened wall, causing it to expand. According to the American Heart Association, it occur in various arteries including those leading to the heart. Some may go unnoticed for years, and others can grow or burst, causing a medical emergency. 

• Aortic aneurysm: An artery (aorta) that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body bulges. 
• Coronary artery aneurysm: A part of the coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart becomes abnormally enlarged.
• Ventricular aneurysm: A weakened spot on the heart muscle bulges outwards, typically after damage to the heart muscle. 

These conditions are not synonymous. The symptoms, causes and treatment may vary.

Aneurysms can occur from a variety of causes including high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries), inherited disorders or previous injury to the blood vessel. In some cases an aneurysm can occur without its being noticed.
