"Something isn't adding up.
What exactly is a "brief illness," anyway? Seems to lack a good degree of specificity... especially as this is him YESTERDAY in Ukraine.
Does he look ill?
And if he was sick enough to be terminal to this degree, why was he traveling that far?"

( Lead Poisoning? )
It's basically impossible.
In the mid aughts (2004+), I was part of a team who created an "expert system" (the precursor for current AI) to diagnose heart disease. Such a medical issue such as arterial blockage was trivial to test. Our system used only three or five leads (depending on if there were suspicions), and no jell or messy residue. It took two minutes or less to put on the leads, took seconds for the AI to put out the info and a minute for the doctor to proclaim the diagnosis (five minutes total for the entire test).
Such an issue (heart attack from arterial blockage) might occur for someone who has never had a doctor's visit in the prior ten years, but for a senator, who is tested all the time (at least once a year), it stretches credulity beyond breaking.
What's the procedure called (so I can ask for it)?
Cool - did not know about that tech
