The specialist further said that an embolism, or blockage in a blood vessel, can lead to sudden death. Davi's mysterious death is linked to possible toxins in the butterfly mix, which caused his body to shut down as he went into septic shock. Having said that, cops are awaiting the full post-mortem results to determine the cause of Davi's death.
