Was he ill?

The reports I've seen don't mention a cause of death. 

I think he had lots of issues sadly

If i recall it was an eating disorder that caused him to quit - caused by continually keeping his weight down

He also had a drinking problem

He was on the TV a couple of years ago when Lammtarra died and he looked hellish - not as bad but similar to how Pat Eddery looked near the end (he also hit the bottle)

A sad state of affairs

Aye shame that. He was a smashin' jockey!
