in the first shared house I lived in, my flat mate (ex-partner of the holder of the lease but in the same dwelling... it was awkward) was acting erratically in the first couple of weeks. It was kind of assumed the break up was getting to him.
One night I heard him cursing outside my door (not at me, just generally). The next day he apologized and said things were overwhelming him at times.
Within a day or two they admitted him to the hospital our house actually backed onto; I can't quite remember why, I think he may have blacked out at the house while I was at work.
They put out the word for his father to fly into the country, but he passed within a day.
It was fungal meningitis; something I didn't even know existed, but apparently can be caused by various forms. I don't know if he had a weakened immune system, but it shook me that someone just living in an urban environment in a wealthy country could simply contract this and pass within days.
