most had drug/alcohol or mental problems. (True in other creative fields, too - Janis Joplin, Hendrix, John Belushi, etc.) Booker's illness was just bad luck, far as I know. Clifford Brown was a clean liver who died in a car crash. Any others who died really young where the cause of death was unrelated to substance abuse or mental illness?

Eric Dolphy (a bit mysterious--the two most common reasons given are a brain tumor or undiagnosed diabetes), Charlie Christian (TB), Frank Teschmacher (car crash), stretching it a bit, Coltrane's liver cancer may or may not have been related to earlier drug problems.

Joe Gordon (fire), Wardell Gray (murdered -- mysteriouly) many conjectures, Albert Aylers (floating in the river) to name a few more.
