He died of liver failure as a result of necrotizing fasciitis. He contracted that from what crackedback said, a spider bite. Wasn't hard living at all.
Necrotizing fasciitis actually sounds like it could be a Slayer song...
I looked that up and that disease is not caused by spider bites. It is a flesh eating disease caused by bacteria from human feces used to fertilize plants or eating undercooked meat.
