"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)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jeter.jpg
Image:Jeter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
