I just wish someone would explain to me the cause of death.
I hate that it happened. He had a good eye and great talent. A true loss to the automobile world.

From what I have gathered from my room mate who is very connected with the hot rod scene, Boyd had a severe case of scerosis (sp) of the liver and that is what killed him. I think his official website says something different.

I had heard he was a diabetic for a long time....we may never know.
Knowing the cause of death helps me with closure.

Someone had posted it was liver disease on Wikipedia, too.

Unfortunately Boyd didn't seem to be the nicest of guys. Hopefully he was ready...

I don't know....maybe he was OK. We only saw the TV side of him. He was a guy under a lot of pressure and I am sure the TV show only added to his stress. He was a business man and had severe deadlines to meet in a world dictated by hobby money. I too, hope he was ready! There's nothing like having the riches of God's promises waiting on you.

God Bless all of you my friends!
