I heard this guy died of some skin disease, don't know what that has got to do with dying from his Liver failing. Has anyone else heard this, or am I the victim again from sloppy journalism?

^^Not sure CP/M, when they said liver failure first thing that came to mind was alcohol abuse over a long period, but I don't know enough about him to speculate.

I have lost almost all respect for "journalists" in this day and age, they are unprofessional, sloppy and just get the story out as fast as possible without bothering to get it right most of the time.

there is all kinds of information flying around. Like relating it all to some kind of spider bite he got awhile back which caused a flesh eating bacterial infection. or something.

who knows wait for truth to come out.

they are not "journalists" or writers or even reporters, they marketing people writing marketing material that generates hits to websites and creates marking oportunities. they are big business not news agencies. they get paid buy click and comercial time.

so trust nothing they write

let him RIP

 

[Riff Raff]

Brown Recluse Spider I read he had been bitten by which I head are highly dangerous.

Very sad. A terrible way to die if it was that flesh easting disease, though I didn't know you could get it from a spider bite. Slayer I never listen to but I know they are a big band, so a lot of sad fans out there.

He wrote a lot of their best known work. That's sad news, rip Jeff.
