Watching how hard Franco Harris played, I am guessing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) played a role.

IIRC, Franco was known for sometimes going out of bounds to avoid contact. Considering the length and quality of his career, this may have been a good strategy.

Ah, no. Apparently his in-his-sleep death came as a surprise to his friends and family.

Much more likely the jabs, his time simply being up, or a combination of the two.
