this might be a stupid question...

...but ever since I read about Dennis Danell's death, I have not been able to find a translation for the word aneurysm - which caused his death. The english - finnish online dictionaries are very limited so I would love to know what is an/a aneurysm?

I know this is a very, very touchy subject and I do apologize for asking this, I just want to know the same thing you guys know already.
