Sad about the guy from 9353. I must have listened to their frist album a 1000 times when it first came out.
While I hate to speculate, Vance had some serious drug problems. I used to see him panhandling outside Foggy Bottom metro. Tremendously nice guy. I'm hoping it was something other than heroin that killed him.
Michael Clarke Duncan has died at age 54.

"Vance Bockis, a popular fixture in D.C.'s punk rock scene, known both for his charismatic stage presence and recovery from heroin addiction, has died following shoulder surgery. He was 50."
…
"Bockis' wife said he had previous blood clots, high blood pressure, and circulation problems attributable to his prior drug use."

Shame about Vance.
I always remember him from the Factory, not 9353, for some reason.
Edit: that documentary is amazing. Thanks for posting the link.

let's ask thatguy about it.
Green Mile star Michael Clarke Duncan dies at 54
Actor Michael Clarke Duncan, who rose to prominence playing a death row inmate in the acclaimed film The Green Mile, has died at the age of 54.
Duncan suffered a heart attack in July and died at a hospital in Los Angeles after failing to recover.
A former bodyguard, the 6ft 4in (1.93m) Duncan was an imposing figure who played a wide variety of screen roles.
He was nominated for an Oscar in 1999 for The Green Mile, but also played action roles and voiced animated parts.
His versatility saw him team up with Bruce Willis to save the Earth in Armageddon, play it for laughs in the Will Ferrell racing car comedy Talladega Nights, and take a succession of roles in TV sitcoms, including Two and a Half Men.
He will be remembered primarily for his role alongside Tom Hanks in the adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Green Mile.
Duncan played convicted murderer John Coffey, a man possessed of a gentle demeanour and extraordinary healing powers.
His unexpected performance won him a nomination as best supporting actor and kick-started an acting career that only began once he gave up bodyguard work in his 30s.
Following his death Duncan's fiancee, Reverend Omarosa Marigault, asked for privacy until the funeral and memorial events were announced.
(he was also in the dark knight - the convict on the ferry who takes the detonator and throws it out the window)

No the lesson is don't publicly speculate on the cause of death when a person dies. Particularly on a message board likely frequented by more than a few people who knew him personally.
And also, yeah, drugs are bad for you.
