Sorry for your loss. Based on your description, your brother in law probably had a hemorrhagic stroke meaning the artery ruptured and bled. That type of stroke is the easiest to detect because it shows up clearly on CT imaging. This blood test is for "ischemic" stroke, which is very different and actually has the opposite treatment.
