This is sad.  In his more recent pictures he looked extremely gaunt.

I noticed that too.  It didn't even look like him.  I had to look twice.  Very sad ending to his short life.  Who knows how far he would have gone.

I must comment on this. My son in law battled this disease for years. Eventually he chose to get a colonostomy (sorry about spelling). 3 surgeries later and a reversal surgery he is fine. So please let people know that IBS or Croen disease are not fatal. 

I don’t know why this Mychael did not get the medical attention he needed.

@evelyner  I was wondering if surgery could help his leaky gut, seems something could have been done, as you mentioned.

My daughters and I have IBS but it isn't a full blown case.  We must be careful of what and how much we eat of some things.

My one daughter also has Crohn's disease.  People seldom die from IBS so his must have been very serious.

That's so sad.  I looked it up and he was only around 39 years old.

He was one of my favorites his season.  I also enjoyed him on All Stars.

So young and he must have suffered terribly.  I'm certain a lot of tears have been shed.

When I first read the OP and the link, I thought:

This is AIDS, what he's describing happens with AIDS.

And now I'm reading in many places that Mychael Knight did, in fact, die of AIDS.  Which makes much more sense medically.  Sad that he felt he had to hide it.  RIP.
