I also recall that there were some rumors that perhaps his drug demons had caught up to him again and that it may have played a role in his death.
EDIT:
Guess they confirmed it was the coke that did him in, eh?

He was out snorting coke in his car. He went to a county park underneath the Missouri River bridge on MO Hwy 291 -which runs from Sugar Creek on the south bank towards Liberty on the north. He got coked up, his car got stuck in the sand on a tree stump, and it was a 100 degree day. He died trying to push his car out of the sand by himself. And this was after he had been thru rehab, and was giving kids "just say no" speeches. Sad example of a drug backslide.
