Mate the poor guy had pancreatic cancer.
Quote:Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer typically have a poor prognosis partly because the cancer usually causes no symptoms early on, leading to locally advanced or metastatic disease at time of diagnosis. Median survival from diagnosis is around 3 to 6 months; 5-year survival is less than 5%.[42] With 37,170 cases diagnosed in the United States in 2007, and 33,700 deaths, pancreatic cancer has one of the highest fatality rates of all cancers and is the fourth highest cancer killer in the United States among both men and women. Although it accounts for only 2.5% of new cases, pancreatic cancer is responsible for 6% of cancer deaths each year.[43]

Dear Mr-tact-to-the-toenails.
I turn 62 next month.
I'm aware that in 1848,the average US male life expectancy was 48.
Today it's about 76.
57 is far too damn young. From the depth of sensitivity of your post, I can only assume you're about 12 (at least mentally)
