it seems he had to accomplish via bullet what all those years of tobacco drugs and alcohol and dangerous-associations couldn't.

i saw him speak to a capacity crowd in 1974 or 75 at ucsd....and during that lecture alone...he smoked 2 packs of cigarettes and offed a bottle of i'm gonna say jim beam.
perhaps all these pollutants finally allowed the big-cancer to consume his body....
he may have sensed it and just didn't want to undergo years of treatment and medical costs etc.
+plus all the other reasons which can persuade one to want to say bye-bye and tale leave this earth.

he was the best american sports-commentator of them all though.....
studs terkel being the other.
always willing to put things into a larger context.
