>One of the finest rugby union players to have graced the game and a favourite son of New Zealand, Jonah Lomu, died unexpectedly overnight at the age of 40.

>The former All Blacks winger, whose imposing physique and often brutal running game provoked in opponents equal amounts of admiration and fear, had suffered from health problems since calling time on his playing career in 2002 due to a rare kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome. He underwent a kidney transplant in 2004 and had been on dialysis treatment for the past 10 years.

If you read the article itself, it says that the cause of death is unclear, or at least not yet announced. The first transplant didn't necessarily fail, we don't know that yet.

On the other hand, if a transplant does fail, chances are a second transplant wouldn't last long either.
