I'd say it was the burns that contributed to his early death: On September 16, 1969, Hathcock's career as a sniper came to a sudden end along Highway 1, north of Landing Zone Baldy, when the LVTP-5 he was riding on struck an anti-tank mine. Hathcock pulled seven Marines from the flame-engulfed vehicle, suffering severe burns (some third-degree) to his face, arms, and legs, before someone pulled him away and placed him in water because he was unaware of how badly he had been burnt.

I remember a story about Carlos in a shooting competition after his service and passed out from the heat because he could no sweat.

Yeah, I read all this man years ago, and also the other day. What the bio said was that his death was from the complications of multiple sclerosis.

I have known a few people that were pretty badly burned, but lived a long life. And I gave also known some people, men and women, who died early from MS (causes unknown)(including a cousin)(painful). So one doesn't know what the explanation is.

But thanks for your reply.
