I have lost a scary number of friends and family to suicide, so when I hear of a younger person dying I almost always wonder if the cause was suicide.
On the other hand, I know people who were relatively young, in excellent shape, and suddenly died of a heart attack.
My own father was 6'3", athletic, and had a heart attack when he was 52. A complete shock; it just seemed all wrong. He lived through it, but had to have surgery and so on.
The bottom line is that I'm sorry for the loss of your co-worker. Whatever the cause, it's a shock for someone that young to suddenly die.
