When The Doctors Checked On His Lifestyle, They Discovered

The Man Had Developed An Infection From A Fungus
The man had developed an infection from a fungus that he had apparently developed in his footwear, and it had spread to his lungs when he inhaled the spores. Since the man's immune system was weak, as he did not get enough rest, his condition only got worse.
