RIP DANIEL PACHECO (October 24, 1996 – April 18, 2017)

Cerebrovascular accident or CVA is the medical term for a stroke.

The neck wound may have damaged an artery, thus reducing blood flow to the brain. Another possibility is that the wound caused the formation of a blood clot that traveled to the brain and blocked blood flow.
