Tabdula, given your Vegas connection I would not be at all surprised if you had some "inside info" WRT HRH's demise. . . the conventional wisdom, as expressed in Empire: The Life, Legend and Madness of Howard Hughes is that it was the plane crash which resulted in HRH being in the hospital for 37 days, with resultant addition to codeine, that ultimately started him down. the "daily log" lists an intake of valium tablets, Emparin tablets, and codeine injections, that would kill a normal person.

Given HRH's interest in women I would not at all be surprised if he was exposed to STD's along the way: but considering also the battery of doctors he had in the wings, I would have thought he would have received a penicllin injection.
