My guess is it was from the stress induced by working with his wife AND his ex-wife. That'd kill any man.


He speaks the truth! :punchballs:

RIP Boyd....

*MAYHEM*, while I'm not going to say I disagree with you, I will also say that there are other causes of Cirrhosis. One of them being diabetes. Being a diabetic myself, I have looked into and researched this in extent.

Never met the guy so I have no idea what he was like in person, but I  sure won't judge him by a "reality" teevee show.

It's all good, I knew ya were, but just wanted to add that there's more than excessive alcohol that can cause it is all.  You didn't hurt my feelings in the least.

Mostly didn't care for his work...

Sorry he's dead, he had quite a talent even if I didn't appreciate it...

His earlier stuff put him on the map.  The last few years were not too kind to him what with Foose coming into his own and the whole thing with the false titles (he caught a misdemeanor conviction for that -- coulda been MUCH worse).

I've never really discussed the aspect of the TV show with anyone other than my wife....

I feel the show destroyed him. 
The Tuetul clan was smart enough to use the camera to their advantage keeping employee interaction on camera to a minimum in the beginning.  Certain employees were given the green light for face time as the show progressed.  This was no accident.  I don't know if it was the producers of the show or the Teutuls, but whoever did that was smart.

Boyd on the other hand, had his dirty laundry on display from day one.  We all have some.  Seems he had a lot more than average and he had a cast of egomaniacs to go along with it.  Many of them seem VERY unprofessional.  I strongly dislike Duane.  I'm sorry to say it -- I think he is a pompous ass.

I think a lot of it had to do with personality as well.  I feel most people could relate to the Teutuls more than Boyd.

RIP sir.  My condolenses to the Coddington clan.
