Doesn't make his death suck any less.

Agreed, though it is nice to set the story straight.

One way or another, The dead know only one thing: it is better to be alive (Private Joker on "Full Metal Jacket").

Good point and the reality is that there are people that are heavy drinkers that die as a result of a stomach related health issues as well. I suppose whatever makes you sleep better at night....

Just passing along the story. Maybe the stomach thing was a result of alcoholism. But, the cause of death as I understood it, was kidney / liver failure.

Oh I know, I'm pointing out that there are other contributing factors and that this still could be as a result of long-term substance abuse.

Fair enough.

Regardless of how he died, it's still a loss to the metal community and to his friends and family in general
