- uncletaco 5y agoY’all know he died of cancer, right?
- KMag 5y agoIt's possible a lack of sleep reduced his immune response to the cancer. The body has some natural cancer fighting mechanisms, and it's only the mutations that escape these that become malignant tumors.

It’s interesting how you guys are latching onto this man’s lack of sleep to speculate why he died young instead of the more obvious possibility, given his background.
