Alcohol did not kill George Best new documentary claims

[super jumbe]

By his own admission, football legend George Best had been “drinking heavily” in the lead up to his death and it was widely assumed that it was his well-documented problems with alcohol that had caused it.

But after examining his medical record, the leading British physician Dr Jason Payne-James has concluded that the former Manchester star was actually killed by an overdose of immunosuppressant drugs.

The one time king of Old Trafford’s immune system was “virtually switched off” he told a new Channel 5 documentary Autopsy: The Last Hours Of George Best. The programme is due to air on Monday, 16 November.

Never heard immunosuppressant drugs, let’s pretend we say he died from double dose why experiment know when he has died that’s the end we should all learn from this.

Used to stop your body rejecting and attacking foreign objects, such as a new liver - which it knows isn't yours.

Since his liver transplant was a result of alcohol abuse to his own liver, and he had started drinking again then the article is nonsense. Of course alcohol was the cause of his death. Was the program sponsored by the brewing industry by any chance?
