#2How does one publish 30 papers in 3 years? That is an insane rate!
Just navigating the political ramifications, dealing with revisions, etc, on three or four a year is a serious pain in the ass, let alone ten.

Well co-author. First author is one thing, co-author is another. And I no way mean any disrespect to someone who obviously has contributed a great deal to his field.

What is considered a paper in CS is different than in many other fields. That is not to say the content is not worthy of publication, just that they tend to be shorter and often are more focused on a single issue. There are also publications in conference proceedings that are usually an easier review process. Looking at his top 10 by citation count on google scholar shows most in proceedings and under 10 pages. Arguably it is more intellectual work, but the process is less arduous so the rate isn't that insane.

#5How does someone dies of "natural causes" at 25? This sounds more like an unknown health condition.

I don't think there's the concept of first author in theoretical CS? All the papers I've seen there follow the same practice as in Math, where authors are just alphabetical.

The big CS conferences are around 20% acceptance rate, Science and Nature are around 7%. So while easier than Science, that is still quite an accomplishment!

dying from a disease is still a natural cause. Unnatural would be getting killed, suicide, accidents etc.

Preexisting congenital conditions. There is always one or two young people in any given year that decide to do some endurance event and simply drop dead from what looks like a heart attack.
