Sad news. Anyone know what type of surgery it was? Brain surgery normally is for something very serious no?

Hospitals are boxes of death.

If you ever go into one, thank your lucky stars if you get out alive and unharmed.

Here is a great article on Lezo Urreiztieta from the Arizona Daily Star:

So sad he's gone at age 20. Sounds like an incredible person.

Why exactly was he having brain surgery? I'm kind of confused here. That seems like an important part of the story.
I was wondering myself
