What is a hemorrhagic stroke, the cause of Indio Solari's death

Carlos Alberto 'Indio' Solari, the iconic Argentine musician, passed away at the age of 77 due to a hemorrhagic stroke. Judicial sources reported that his body was discovered by his caregiver in the pool area of his home in Parque Leloir.

The autopsy results indicated that Solari suffered the fatal stroke in the early morning hours while he was in his heated indoor swimming pool. The caregiver found him and, along with Solari's wife, removed his body and contacted emergency medical services. Despite resuscitation efforts, they were unsuccessful.

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, leading to bleeding within or around the brain tissue. This type of stroke, less common than ischemic strokes, causes increased pressure inside the skull, damaging brain cells. According to MedlinePlus, brain cells begin to die within minutes of such an event.

Hemorrhagic strokes are categorized based on the bleeding location: intracerebral hemorrhage occurs within the brain tissue itself, while subarachnoid hemorrhage happens in the space between the brain and its surrounding membranes. Common causes include aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and high blood pressure. Head trauma is also a potential trigger. Solari had been living with Parkinson's disease for the past 10 years.
