Probably important to highlight that he was 39 when he died...
I always admired his passion, but puzzled at his stubborn lack of safety precautions.

If I recall, the cause of death was "unatural" and years of mental health problems hint that he didn't die of radiation related diseases.
Thats what I had recalled, until I found his mugshot when he was arrested stealing smoke detectors - his face was covered in lesions attributed to radiation. Pretty sad. If it wasn't the immediate cause, it likely wasn't unrelated either.
Probably a good lesson for us all: anything can be learned on your own, but learning on your own is not guaranteed to highlight what you don't know and need to.
