It could be septicemia (disease of the blood), but could be a central nervous infection too considering quick death. A high viral load is useless info without knowing what the virus was. If they know he had a high virus load, then they must have known what to test and measure for in the first place. Finally, you would typically expect a zero-to-low viral concentration as the immune system kills off the virus and regrettably the host (a bit more too that though). Unless the article is simplifying this for the readers, I don't think the hospital has a clue.
Nonetheless, RIP Mario.
