Did cary grant suffer from a 'thuderclap headache'?

Famed for classics such as Suspicion (1941), Operation Petticoat (1959), and Charade (1963), Cary Grant might have been a superstar, but he started from humble beginnings. Born as Archibald

Alec Leach on January 18, 1904 in Bristol, England, his father made money for the family by working in a factory. Aged nine, Grant was told his mother had gone off to a seaside resort when,

in reality, she was placed in a mental health institution. At 14, he joined the comedic Pender troupe, touring the English provinces; years later, Grant was selected to tour the United

States. Once in America, he extended his performance repertoire, which included acrobatics, into film. His first leading role was in She Done Him Wrong (1933), and then his acting career

took off. Grant made 72 films during his lifetime, which sadly came to an end on November 29, 1986 due to a cerebral haemorrhage. READ MORE: ACHOLIC STOOLS ARE 'THE MOST COMMON'

SIGN OF PANCREATIC CANCER IN 'INITIAL' STAGES A cerebral haemorrhage describes bleeding in or around the brain, which is a type of stroke. Experts at the Stroke Association charity

says only 15 percent of strokes in the UK are haemorrhagic. One of the "most typical" signs of a haemorrhagic stroke is a "thunderclap headache". This sudden, and severe

headache, might be accompanied by a stiff neck, nausea, and vomiting. DON'T MISS  People most at risk of this type of stroke include older age (specifically being over the age of 70),

high blood pressure, and drinking large amounts of alcohol. "Some illegal drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis can raise the risk of a haemorrhagic stroke," the Stroke

Association notes. There are two types of haemorrhagic stroke: intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage – the specific type Grant died from has not been reported. It is possible, however,

that before his death, he could have suffered from a thunderclap headache. An intracerebral haemorrhage can be caused by: * Cerebral small vessel disease * Small vessel disease * Cerebral

amyloid angiopathy * Abnormal blood vessels in the brain * Arteriovenous malformation. READ MORE: ACHOLIC STOOLS ARE 'THE MOST COMMON' SIGN OF PANCREATIC CANCER IN

'INITIAL' STAGES A subarachnoid haemorrhage is often due to an aneurysm, which is a ballooned blood vessel that has burst inside of the brain. No matter the kind of stroke a person

has, it is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment. While some people do die from a stroke, such as Grant, other people might be left with life-limiting side effects. "The

effects of a stroke are unique to each individual," the charity points out. "A stroke can affect any part of your body, as well as your communication, emotions, and memory and

thinking." Side effects from a stroke could include: * Movement and balance problems * Communication problems * Memory, concentration and thinking problems (cognition) * Problems being

able to notice things to one side (spatial neglect) * Vision problems * Swallowing problems * Bladder and bowel problems * Fatigue. For people who have survived a stroke, they should expect

to have a medical review six months after being discharged from hospital. Cary Grant starred in His Girl Friday, which is showcasing on Tuesday, November 15 on Film4 at 12.55pm.
