  Steve Jobs died because he initially refused rational treatment, then he aggressively pursued conventional treatment (liver transplant). The initial refusal thing is common - in my case, I refused to believe the symptoms (bloody stool) I had were something that needed to be dealt with. In both our cases, neither of us had any qualifications to make a determination of treatment, and doing our own research wouldn't have helped. (I'm sure the Big Turmeric Cartel would have something to chime in with (one of the common "it'll cure you" paths.)
