Dan had recently been diagnosed with leukemia, but the actual cause of death was uncertain, Jared told us. The family didn’t feel that an autopsy was necessary. Dan had been in failing health for years and had died of natural causes, most likely connected to edema (excess water retention), according to Jared.
