    Tragic death! He got bit by a spider two years ago. His liver ultimately failed due to necrotizing fasciitis. A nasty condition that nobody should ever have to suffer. RIP!

    I recently (couple of years ago) saw Slayer briefly when they toured with Megadeth and Anthrax. I didn't care much for them (Kerry King frightens me a bit), but he produced some great, fast thrash,

    They are brutal live!!!! As a matter of fact I prefer to see them live over listening to them at home. I love that slam in your chest feeling from them..

    I've seen my share of those kind of wounds treated, packed, etc...brutal stuff!

    RIP Jeff.

    One bad ****! Most spiders bite is is a form of poison weak or strong. We've all been bitten by a spider and had a mosquito type reaction like itch small welt, etc. It's conceivable Jeff had a severe reaction to the spider bite that slowly killed him. Poor soul, RIP
