He had received a heart transplant some years back, probably developed some complications. He had left the band right before the plane crash, and rejoined when they revived the group after the crash, but left again because of heart related health issues. He was probably the most talented member of the group in my opinion.

There is a documentary on Showtime called Lynyrd Skynyrd: If I Leave Here Tomorrow. I caught a bit of it tonight. Looks good so far.
