Self inflicted gunshot - long illness he'd had enough of.
Really?
tragic.
I thought so too at first when I heard the cause. But something seems almost poetic about it, given what I know of Mr. Awerbuck, his style, and the life he lived. Seppuku perhaps?
Oh, I agree completely. It's tragic that we've lost him, but it seems he went out on his own terms like a warrior. I can definitely understand making that choice rather than just waiting around.
