On Howard Stern’s website, an obituary was posted; this tells that The Fred ‘The Elephant Boy’ died due to complications caused by blood clots. Fred Schreiber was 64 years old at the time of their death. According to health experts, blood clots can form in any blood vessel and might move to other parts of the body, like the heart, brain, and lungs. All these causes may lead to severe complications because the clot may stop blood flow to other organs.

I have no idea if he ever got the chance because it turns out he went into the hospital a few days later. I hope he did.
RIP, Fred. And Let’s Go, Mets, forever!
