dammit-just saw this
-some reports are saying he "choked on vomit" due to drinking too much-seems like it was printed in some "National Inquirer" type publication...I almost choked to death on my vomit one night, and it wasn't because of alcohol at all-it was because of severe acid reflux and the resulting constriction of my esophogus-being 58, he may have had a similar condition and didnt even know it(I didnt for quite some time...)_ i had a bunch of ulcers in esoph and stomach and never felt any pain or discomfort-just wanted to add, because of the stereotypical "out of control alcoholic musician" reactions that will occur because of this-he may have been on a "bender", but an underlying condition could have contributed
RIP- one bad-*** guitar slinger, and one of my idols for sure
