Man, that is some bad luck. I wonder what the donor died from.

It seems very odd they died with rabies but not from rabies and no one noticed.

One of the things about rabies that makes it absolutely terrifying is that it can remain dormant for years after exposure. You could have it right now, even. But the only way to test is post-mortem.
