What I've heard (100% unconfirmed)...

Heart attack and subsequent fall. SAR is guarding the person until coroner can get there or until he says bring the body down to him at/near the trailhead. Location is above First Water where there are fixed ropes to help navigate the trail through a narrow rocky/ledgy portion.

100% unconfirmed.
