A 63-year-old Las Vegas man who died in a crash in early February had a medical problem.

On February 5, Roger Bosh was killed after his 1992 Buick veered off the road along Durango Drive near El Campo Grande Avenue. It crashed into a wall around 9:10 p.m.

Bosh was unresponsive following the accident and eyewitnesses and officers tried to help him before paramedics arrived. Despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at Centennial Hills Hospital.

No other vehicles were involved in the crash and no one else was injured.

The Clark County coroner’s office said Roger Bosh’s death was ruled an accident due to a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and a retroperitoneal hemorrhage.

Following the crash, the coroner and medical examiner sought to determine what led to the crash, including whether impairment was a factor. At the time, police said the accident did not appear to be traffic-related.

Following the medical examination, the results of the investigation were released earlier this week.

The aorta is the main artery in the human body and it supplies oxygenated blood to the cardiovascular system. An aortic aneurysm refers to an enlargement of the aorta to more than 1.5 times the normal size.

Aortic aneurysms don’t typically present symptoms unless they rupture. Then, they can result in massive internal bleeding and unless they are treated immediately, shock and death can follow.

Bosh lived in Milford, UT. No details were immediately available about his surviving relatives or his funeral arrangements.
