He lived down here (SD) for awhile with Milos and Achim Albrecht...well liked by all.

I dont know the ending well....what i heard was he was taken advantage of by so-called friends which left him high and dry....went to a place very down on his luck and discovered a lump in his shoulder that he originally thought was built up scar tissue but turned out to be cancer that spread quickly (to his lungs if i remember right) and took his life

Am i right in that or the story was reported wrong?
