He died of AIDS complications, which isn't a nice way to go but it's not notably worse than many of the other typical ways people die.

EDIT

A couple of people seem to be misreading what i wrote. I specifically said AIDS is a bad way to go, but so are zillions of other common ways such as Alzheimer's.

News Flash: Cause and effect exists. People don't pop into existence each day as a brand new slate unaffected by their past.

There may or may not be value to the study, but this pop-sci article is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

America is so widely spaced out that there are some huge stretches of mostly empty highways, so the only feasible way to monitor for speeders is by helicopter watching over the massive stretches of road. Or at least that's how it used to be, these days i bet they are increasingly just using cameras

That's so odd, i thought usually sports car speedometers go higher than the car is actually able to achieve in order to trick people into thinking it's actually capable of going that fast. But now that i think about it i guess that was just an assumption

I was once on an empty road that was straight all the way to the horizon and i got it up to 100. I woulda gone higher but my passenger didn't want to

We hit that point in spinning disk drives a while ago for me

We do have those things. That's how many technologies already work.
