That guy was doing interviews on TV and then ten days later he was dead as a door nail.

Nothing so insipid as cancer or some other debilitating disease, just straight up bacteria infection. Bam, dead.

Really messed up. Could happen to anyone.

1. Didn't he refuse treatment?
It's still shitty, even if he did.

4. No. He thought he had the flu
and tried to wait it out. He was a workaholic who didn't want to trouble anyone else.

The rumor crap about refusing treatment or it having anything to do with religion is just untrue.

3. I thought he died of rheumatic fever.
Maybe that was Andy Gibb.
