Although Sids showed the strength of a child prodigy, he did not reach the level expected by ordinary people in adulthood. He died of a stroke at the age of 46. When he died, he was penniless, unemployed and accomplished nothing. He became a "prodigy" for several hours. Although it is a pity, it is also an understandable fact.
