    6 weeks ago, just after Sept. 13, he started fighting for his life.

    Apparently it wasn't the cancer that killed him directly. The cancer weakened his immune system and he contracted a case of pneumonia. The illness overwhelmed him and he was in a coma before finally succumbing to the pneumonia. So it's possible that they could have cured the cancer if he had been able to complete his treatment plan, but unfortunately his body was not able to fight off the illness that ultimately killed him.
