This death seems unlikely - perhaps he had epilepsy instead. Here is a web description of this disease:
St. Vitus's dance, acute disturbance of the central nervous system characterized by involuntary muscular movements of the face and extremities. The disease, known also as Sydenham's chorea (not to be confused with Huntington's disease, a hereditary disease of adults that is sometimes called Huntington's chorea), is usually, but not always, a complication of rheumatic fever. Sydenham's chorea, a disease of children, especially females, usually appears between the ages of 7 and 14. Facial grimacing and jerking movements persist for 6 to 10 weeks and sometimes recur after months or even years. Eventually the symptoms disappear.
The word chorea was first applied to the frenzied movements of religious fanatics who during the middle ages journeyed to the healing shrine of St. Vitus. St. Vitus is also considered patron saint of dogs and epileptics and other nervous disorders.
Epilepsy has also historically been referred to at St. Vitus Dance which might explain more clearly the disease of Thomas J. Asbill and having a "spell".
When I was a child, dogs used to get a disease, also called St. Vitus Dance, that caused jerky uncontrollable movements - usually the dog was put down.
