>>18562278No. Cancer is a fucking particularly awful way to potentially go, as it lasts fucking forever and involves slow dwindling. He didn't deserve to die of *anything*, really. And for people arguing about this stopping his genes from getting in the gene pool... well, he's sort of in a committed relationship with this old dude so I don't think that's a real worry.
But the virus that can cause this strand of cancer, Epstein Barr, is typically found in fecal matter. Take a wild guess as to where he might have got it. [/spoiler[
