Lomu's death was most likely from a blood clot – Former AB’s Doctor

Former All Blacks doctor John Mayhew says Jonah Lomu's death was most likely from a blood clot on a lung associated with air travel back to New Zealand after the Rugby World Cup.

The former All Blacks doctor and close friend made the case for the blood clot in an interview with the BBC Five Live show in Britain.

Lomu died last week at the age of 40, ending a long battle with a chronic kidney condition that included a transplant.

They think the most likely cause was a clot on the lung which can be a complication of long distance travel.
