Motor neurone disease, apparently
Striking that even when dscussing that, though, he couldn't resist another pop at liberal lefties (who would be the very people who'd be trying to help him here!):
"He stated publicly that he would prefer to end his own life than suffer the indignities of the final stages of the disease; in an interview he stated, "The truth is that I would be more likely to drive myself in a wheel-chair off a cliff in Cornwall than go to Dignitas and speak to a bearded social worker about my future."
A bit symbolic of him, perhaps. So confrontational - even when there was no need to confront anyone.
