	Fixed

	I would appreciate it if the Al Capone entry accepted the term "syphilis" and the Jett Travolta entry also took "epilepsy" and "epileptic fit" as alts.

	George Harrison died of throat cancer, not lung.

	TennisDrummer52:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 20:29 GMT	2 points
	George Harrison died of Throat Cancer that also spread to his lungs and brain. I figured people would relate it to smoking and thing along the lines of the lungs. Anyways, they take them now. The Capone and Jett Travolta problems are fixed.

	Heath Ledger, such a shame he died so young.

	Kurt CoBANG!

	Tiny Tim died of a heart attack??? Never knew that I thought he had a terminal illness because of the cane he carried. Also, good job with accepting multiple answers for these

	My bad I was thinking of Tiny Tim from "A Christmas Carol" I didnt know there was a musician.

	starbreakers:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 18:07 GMT	4 points
	Since there's a lot of controversy surrounding the deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Kurt Cobain, maybe you shouldn't list their causes of death as suicides. Just saying.

	It might be a good idea to accept just 'drugs' whenever it's 'drug overdose'.

	aekimel:	Sep 1st, 2010 at 17:26 GMT	5 points
	Jimi Hendrix should probably accept several more answers. While it's true he asphyxiated, it was due to excessive alcohol mixed with sleeping pills. Saying it was asphyxiation only would be like saying Cobain wasn't killed by a gunshot to the head, but by excessive blood loss.

	juror8:	Sep 19th, 2010 at 21:11 GMT	-4 points
	Please accept "murdered by father" for Jett Travolta as well.

	sabresfan:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 21:23 GMT	2 points
	Perhaps "assassination" where appropriate? (I tried it for Lennon).

	jodessa620:	Aug 22nd, 2011 at 03:37 GMT	-2 points
	@juror8, you are an idiot, and @starbreakers how could you say you shouldnt list the cause of death as suicide for Kurt Cobain, he shot and killed HIMSELF, I am pretty sure that is the definition of suicide.

	You should accept drug overdose for Heath Ledger. Prescription drugs are still drugs and prescription drug abuse is still drug abuse.
