Two questions

Hmm...I think he died of some kind of disease linked to alcohol didn't he? Cirrhosis or something.
Come to think of it though - his flesh started to die on him - so maybe it was something else? Good question - sorry, I'm not much of a doctor. :)

im thinking its some liver disease and some sort of STD (adding to his promiscuity). Im not sure though coz ive not read the book, but his health declined very very fast..

were all alone now.. i need something to sing about..
