Not sure. I have read that the bite got badly infected and thats what got him, not necessarily the type of spider.

I stink at html, but you can see the photos of his arm here:

It seems to have bitten him in the median cubital vein. I'm beginning to wonder if the bite was from a 5cc "spider" full of meth

Just on the basis of my own, very limited, knowledge, I have to consider that death from a spider bite is extremely rare.

As in almost never.

Drugs, on the other hand - and especially for a rock ‘n’ roller...
