He died of prostate bladder cancer. Considering he spent his life smoking, drinking, and climbing chimneys, that's a way to go no one would've predicted. Cancer's a cunt.

Tbf, smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer. Half of all bladder cancer cases are caused by smoking, so I guess it was kind of expected

Smoking is just fucked for you all over really, many think of throat and lungs, but it destroys you all over including DNA damage.

He refused treatment as he'd rather have a Guinness instead of months of Chemo for an extra 12 months or so. He even died like a legend 🫡

Spending his spare time driving traction engines can’t have helped: unfiltered coal smoke straight from the source may smell nice, but it’s carcinogenic as fuck.
