I thought people only died (in the modern world) of pneumonia if they
were already ill with something else?

Though in all the times i hastily jumped out of the pool when blinky
swam up i never recall him saying anything about any previous or
chronic conditions.

Even his complaints about stress that took him to the Joshua tree park
to de-stress & where he took some lovely photos never seemed anything
more than the usual, run of the mill, ordinary, everyday, modern world
stress.

Though we only swam in the same pool, and i really barely knew him, he
was nice enough to be missed.
