That has to be, Bob Marley. His death, quite drawn out, painful and cleaning him out financially was absolutely unnecessary.
He got cancer in one of his toes, often said to be the piggy toe, but that is besides the point. His doctors said it was easy to cut the toe off and that was that, no chemo or anything.
But his so called religion, Rastafari, which basically tells him to smoke a lot of weed, forbids any parting of your body or something like that.
Anyways, his cancer spread out, he sought all con men, charlatans and cheaters in the world and allowed them to do anything to him, for fortunes of money, but of course to no avail. He died from cancer, but it must have been dramatically painful and took a long time.
** no comments about someone needing to respect religion. No you don’t.
