As spherical collapse of very massive stars would tend to the formation of Black Holes with an Event Horion having a gravitational red-shift of z = {infinity}, the pressure of gravitationally trapped radiation would increase as {approx} (1 + z){sup 2}. Consequently catastrophic collapse must change into a secular collapse as the radioactive luminosity would attain its Eddington value. Since the local temperature of the collapsing body is found to be {approx} 250 MeV, the stellar mass Black Hole Candidates could be in this intermediate state of a hot Quark Gluon Plasma.
