Since a lot of people seem to care most about this part: "His aunt, Dr. Toby Maurer, said the cause was diabetes ketoacidosis, a serious diabetic condition that led to his frequent hospitalization in recent years."
Some non-doctor info on first-time T2 diabetes ketoacidosis for overweight people, and ironically, one benefit: 1) symptoms are losing 1 pound per day, vision "graying out" and constant thirst, and tiredness/loss of focus, and eventually coma and death 2) if you're overweight but otherwise healthy (you walk daily and have strong cardio), you can "ride down" the weight loss for a month or two to lose 30 - 40 pounds.

If you lose weight faster than 100gr per week max consult a doctor immediately and have your liver tested (keep in mind that you have a "weight cycle" that makes a 100kg adult's weight fluctuate by ~3kg and up to 5kg per day. For example you should drink 2 liters of water per day, of course that changes your weight by 2 kg. Same with food (longer cycle, takes 2-3 days to get through). However if you lose 6-7kg in a month, that's definitely too much. Go see a doctor and stop it). Btw: not because the liver is likely to be the problem, it is going to be in trouble, which will trigger a response from the doctor to look for the problem (first step is establishing there is an actual problem).
