why does someone pass away in their sleep?

My friend passed away in his sleep last night, he was only 17. Why does that happen? What causes someone that young to pass away in that manner? I’m just so confused about everything and I can’t seem to find any answers.

Lucky guy… Sleep Apnea is my best bet. Maybe (if he was depressed?) he poisioned himself?
