Anaphylactic shock from an allergic reaction. Here’s the list of ingredients:

COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca contains the excipients histidine, histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, disodium edetate (EDTA), sucrose, ethanol absolute, polysorbate 80 and water for injections.

besides polysorbate 80, I cannot think of anything that could cause an allergic reaction from that list. It seems likely then that it is a strong immune reaction against the adenovirus or its spike.
