That’s very young. RIP.
“That’s very young. RIP.”
Clarinetists are NOTORIOUSLY hard partiers.
Flautists too, I would imagine.
Okay, I have to ask: Does anyone know what killed him?
Dear EveningStar,

Does anyone know what killed him? “Blood Disorder” per LA Times.
That’s a bit strange...’blood disorder’ could cover any number of things. If it was a type of leukemia, then why not say it? Or myelofibrosis, sort of a pre-leukemia...why not say it?
RIP.
LA Phil bump....
