Place of death: Munkács 386
Burial: in Munkács, Is. Cháim Lefkovics, Jewish cemetery

_Hűdés_ "paralysis" is archaic or specialized nowadays; adding _szél_ "wind" (but also "edge") basically meant "sudden". The two most common uses are _szívszélhűdés_ "heart attack" (_szív_ "heart") and _agyszélhűdés_ "stroke, apoplexy" (_agy_ "brain").
