Julian Vein comments: “Perhaps it would add more poignancy to the 
project to focus on those who
died through self-destruction and self-indulgence, rather than through
ill-health or accident.  Having said that, musicians have died in road
accidents that were often as the result of travelling to and from gigs.
Ayler and Morgan, it seems, died as a result of certain actions they, or
someone close to them, had taken in their lives.”

Yes, some, of the musicians on the film list died from accidents or 
health problems. If I remember correctly, a physician who lived in 
Virginia who was a member of the IAJRC wrote a book about the health 
problems of specific musicians and what illnesses they died from.  It 
may have been published as much as 15 years ago. I don’t recall the 
book’s title or the author’s name.
