Can confirm. My dad died last year this time due to a huge stroke happened during an endoscopy. Turned out he had a big chunk of cholesterol at the aorta. The endoscopic procedure probably broke it and sent more fragments to the brain. He had an earlier stroke 4 weeks ago and blood thinner didn’t seem to work.

He was very active, though. So mind you, eating well is also a key to go along with exercise!
