the sad thing in our community especialy with famous people is that its still a big taboo to reveal causes of death properly,i think in their minds it goes against the invincible impression they like to give when alive
otherwise 99 per cent of those deaths are diseases,heart attacks and co and his case in particular he's been sick for several years but it was too big of a taboo to admit,so it allowed rumours,thats like the artists who died most likely of aids,none could have the courage to admit suffering from it or not,and the end even some who died for liver issues were suspected of having died form aids
