I met Sane a couple of times while growing up. Hard to believe someone so popular and influencial could be so humble and down to earth - he even rememberd my name the second time we met. as far as the cause of his passing i think it should be left up to the people who know the truth (family and close friends, and I am neither). this message board should just remind us of his legacy.
