My friend died of respiratory failure followed by cardiac arrest...?

Does that mean his brain was seriously damaged????

When breathing stops all organs of the body will die from lack of oxygen if there is no intervention. It is difficult to guess what happened to your friend , so sorry for your loss.

Carciac arrest is concerning the heart, not the brain.
