I'm curious to see if the necrotizing fasciitis that he contracted a couple years ago contributed any to the liver problems. Granted, I'm sure copious amounts of booze have been consumed over the years but I think its be much more fitting for the guy to go out courtesy of a flesh eating spider bite than simple liver cirrhosis.
