An elite hacker who was due to demonstrate how heart implants could be hacked has died unexpectedly in San Francisco.

He had been due to give a presentation into medical device vulnerabilities at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas taking place next week.

He had said one technique could kill a man from 30 feet (nine metres) away.

It doesn't say how he died, though. Heart attack? Hit by a car? Shot? Stabbed?

How?
