Not sure if you're being deadpan, but I think there may be some truth in that. The human body is not designed to be "driven" with sudden changes in direction. Maybe his sudden change in lifestyle caused a big change in something in his body that the other parts of his body was not ready to cope with. Even if that change was good it could turn out to be bad.

No idea if he had fun with the masseuse before he went, but I sure hope he did!
