Dutch police is investigating.Milosevic was 64-years old and suffered a heart condition and high blood pressure. Two cardiologists treating Milosevic warned he was suffering from a life-threatening condition known as a hypertensive emergency, when surges in blood pressure can damage the heart, kidneys and central nervous system.
