Nov 26, 2008 - Sorry, Taildragger51 is correct. Rory's liver was damaged by long-term use of prescribed medication. According to his brother he was NOT the heavy drinker he was rumoured to be. In fact he was careful to avoid the excesses indulged in by many of his peers. Rory's death was a tragedy, but to me the way in which the memory of such a rare combination of talent and good sense is being warped by rumour,speculation and gossip is a far worse tragedy. He is being robbed of his personality and humanity.

iagobroxado Says:

Dec 15, 2008 - in Rory's case, too much drinking.

iagobroxado Says:

Dec 15, 2008 - mix of that and drugs use (or prescribed "medication" if you wish.)

iagobroxado Says:

Dec 15, 2008 - o fígado dele parou, devido a uma combinação de álcool e auto-medicação incluindo anti-depressivos por anos. Rory morreu após uma cirurgia de transplante de fígado (bem-sucedida), pois contraiu uma bacteria que causou-lhe uma infecção.
