This might not be news to someone, but when I found out I was quite shocked by the news.

      Maybe they meant the massage dislodged a clot and caused stroke or maybe they misread.

        No,you are spot on,see my other above comment - the type of damage he has is exactly matching a certain,rather rare, type of stroke and sadly manual therapy and massage are amongst the most common causes for that.
