Not that I know, at this point it's not really our business

If a friend of yours passed away, wouldnt you like to know why?

It helps to bring closure IMO.

Or may serve as an object lesson.

Im sorry but I agree with this..... It is not that we want to pry into his business but seriously if there are people on this board that may be living their life the same way he has then it may keep this from happening to another bro......

Yes. healthy young/middle-aged people don't just drop dread overnight. People are curious so it doesn't happen to them either.

However - usualy if the causes are "shady" - families tend to keep the causes secret or say something else. Ex: I had a friend die from coke/alcohol OD - their family passed it off to others as a heart condition from birth. We all knew the real reasons but said nothing.

So I never bother asking, he and the sweater are gone. RIP.

Well,No reason to hide the "real reason" that someone dies in order to hide embarrassment or whatever if it could bring awareness to others who are embarking on the same lifestyle like Bigmann pointed out..

Families don't want the image of their loved one tarnished forever. If someone dies from an OD, that's how they'll be referred to forever - plus sometimes other familes members didn't even know so and so did drugs.

Nto to say poboy did drugs, just listing an example. And since families members may or may not tell the truth, you'll never know for certain - so no point asking.

(look at the denial of david carradine's family)
