"The cause of his death is as yet undetermined." If he had HIV, I suspect that that's the reason! 4.159.5.216 22:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- As I understand it, AIDS itself rarely kills -- people die due to infections, etc. complicated by AIDS. In any event, a Google search reveals many AIDS-related websites saying Jeter's death was AIDS-related, Jeter is already listed in a wiki-category on the subject, and the previous edit dates back to 2004, so I changed it. 23skidoo 18:10, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

- I am not a doctor, but I was under the impression that AIDS never kills people directly, but rather slowly lowers the bodies immune system to the point where even a severe cold can mortally wound the individual. If I am wrong about this, please correct me, but that is my understanding of the disease thus far. Ubergenius 14:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
It was reported at the time of his death he died of a heart attack, which could have had nothing to do with his HIV status.
[edit] HIV or AIDS?
The sentence starting "When he was diagnosed with HIV ..." has been changed to changed "... with AIDS" - which is correct? There's a difference: HIV is the virus; AIDS are symptoms of immune system failure, caused by HIV. - Mike Rosoft 19:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
