Answer 1

Your second sentence is correct. De repente and repentinamente are synonymous.

You needn't put deber into the preterite, because you are using "haber" which already puts the sentence into a "perfect" or action completed tense. "must have happened" or occurred

Does this help?

yes it did help a lot ..thanks for the answer - sue16492, Jul 9, 2015

Sudden death:

La muerte súbita es la aparición repentina e inesperada de una parada cardiaca en una persona que aparentemente está sana y en buen estado.
