I saw speculation of a 2.5 million dollar net worth.

I saw speculation of liver failure, mention of Hospice, so it follows. I associate liver failure with Alcohol abuse. Though, to be fair, a number of things could cause liver failure.

56 seems to be a young age, but if one has been touring with a band for a long time, there are possibilities of much excess.

Looking at a rolling stone article, and some others, I wonder how much alcohol Steve has had over his lifetime?

Not that it matters in the end. In the end, according to reports, he was surrounded by family and friends when he passed at a place it seemed near Boise, Idaho. Presumably, he had a place near Boise.
