Where did you hear/read that?
Rafferty has been well-known, long-time alcoholic, unfortunately. Just google it. Several other obituaries mentioned it. His specific cause of death was complete renal failure (his kidneys stopped working).

Very sad, he was very, very talented. I loved "Right Down the Line", too.
