It only says that he died aged 34 after an illness lasting several years.

A further search produced this:
"His family have asked me to refrain from mentioning the actual cause of his death, suffice it to say it was a progressive disease which he contracted sometime in the 90's, and which he sucessfully hid from his family and friends until it was in its last stages. "
Judging from the biography on the other site and from the above, I expect it was AIDS.
Apparently, at one point, the details were online, but were removed and are no longer accessible.

The rhubarb in the garden is nearly ready - just before the strawberries. I'm going to make an enormous crumble and eat it all myself with custard. No one else likes it in my family.

Marks & Spencer do some Rhubarb and Custard sweets but the best ones I've ever tasted came from the victorian sweet shop at the Black Country Living Museum
Old fashioned sweet shops where you can buy sweets by weight - now there's something you rarely see any more.
