Ok, the original story was a suspected heart attack or stroke. There were articles referring to early heart disease in his family - three uncles had MIs in their late 30s/early 40s. It gave the impression he just went to sleep and was found in bed.
But given the skull fracture and the orbital bone break, there should have been bruises and swelling. In a fatter part of the body - say the thigh, it can take a couple of days for a bruise to appear - think about how you look down and see a bruise sometimes and think 'how did I get that?' But a head wound, it is just the skin over a thin layer of muscle so the swelling happens very quickly - think how boxers swell up in a fight. No one noticed a broken skull up front? How long had he been dead when they found him?
(I did read where he had clonazepam in his system. This is a multi use Rx, anxiety/ depression, but also anti-seizure. Don't know the reason for the Rx, but if he had a seizure, that might explain it. I have had seizures in the past and you remember nothing even though people tell you after it is over things you said, etc. But apparently I have been very confused and tired. And you sleep hard for a few hours after.)

Clonazepam almost always used for anxiety. Long half life makes it so you aren’t hit as hard like a Xanax would. Maybe he’s been stressing ?
Entirely possible. It may be that you see more Rx for anxiety just due to fact more people suffer from anxiety than seizure disorders?
For a 65 year old with a family history of early cardiovascular disease, kind of surprising that he wasn't on some kind of BP/cholesterol meds.
