It's unlikely they thought he would be gone less than 3 weeks after that announcement...

Maybe you're right, but they might as well be aware that it could be not that easy for him to recover. If indeed it was a cancer there are a lot of different factors: surgery, chemo, radiotherapy etc. Each of this procedure may be risky, especially when you're 80 with past history of a cancer.

They obviously knew he was ill, but I mean, did they knew it was life-threatning.. Were they informed a couple of days ago or whas it a shock to them as it was for us? The official statement read that he was supposed to make a full recovery and was hoping to join the band later on...

One person on this thread says their "source" says cause of death was related to Charlie's liver. Another person says his heart. And now another says their source says it was throat cancer.

Clearly some people are wrong here with their "sources". so let's not speculate. That's how rumours start and rumours fly fast on the internet. Let's give Charlie the respect by not spreading rumours. If we're meant to find out how he passed away, then we'll find out from official sources. Hell, has his autopsy even been performed yet?? And yet here we are speculating. Let's not.

I can't see why people think it's important , what the cause of his death was.
Rather unpolite, IMO.
Surely, when he's not even buried yet.
