Cancer definitely did

Nah, he fucked himself with that. Had a highly treatable form of cancer and chose to feed it a sugary fruit-only diet instead of going to a doctor.

Holy shit TIL, I had no clue this dude died because he was basically an anti-vaxxer/alternative medicine guy.

Jobs also believed that his commitment to vegan diets meant his body was flushed of mucus -- and that it meant he was free from body odor, so he didn't need to wear deodorant or shower regularly. Unsurprisingly, the book quotes former coworkers saying that he was very, very wrong. ..... One of his go-to stress relievers during Apple's early days was soaking his bare feet in the company toilets. (link)

his doctors advised him to seek surgery as soon as possible. Instead, he delayed the procedure for nine months and attempted to treat himself with alternative medicine. This fateful decision may have quickened Steve Jobs’ death — when he still could’ve been saved. (link)

To his credit though, I believe he did admit he fucked up before he died. Which is certainly a lot better than the antivaxers of today.

Honestly, I don't care that he admitted he fucked up given he effectively stole a liver from someone that could have used it and not just kill themselves through their shitty choices within a handful of years.

I hope his grave has a porta potty installed.

I believe lots of covid victims would admit they were wrong about being antivax, but it's hard to talk on the ventilator.
