What did he die from?
65 seems rather young considering he could afford the most expensive healthcare

Healthcare or money doesn't matter when cancer is coming for you.
Sad that he's passed away and it seems like he did a lot for Seattle.
Just a shame he was donating to the republicans so they stay in power.

I know and RIP
Usually depending on the cancer and if you catch it early before it spreads you can live your life longer . It depends on the cancer tho , like testicular cancer if caught early can be taken care of.
I was just curious because some are more deadlier than others and he might have not gotten any treatment until it was to late
RIP. He did a crazy amount with his life, most of which I had no idea about until recently. The Quincy Jones interview from earlier this year where he talked about Allen's talent as a guitarist piqued my curiosity.
He was first treated for cancer in 1983.

It sucks when people die but Paul Allen was a Republican donating piece of shit right up to his death so even as a sports fan it's hard to find a good thing to say.
You don't have to be a sports fan and you can find lots of good things to say about him.
Naw. He literally was donating hundreds of thousands of dollars right into September.
User Warned: Inflammatory commentary over a series of posts
You aren't going to bait me. He's dead and it isn't a bad thing overall. That's all.
Actually I do want to say one more thing...
This motherfucking billionaire piece of crap in his dying days decided to still give hundreds of thousands of dollars to support republican fucks, knowing he was on his own death bed.
If that isn't telling enough about his character I don't know what is???

Yeah. One of the things I always appreciate from him as an aviation enthusiast is he has a collection of airplanes that he pays people to fly (except less than a handful he feels are too rare to risk). He has days where he even organizes demonstrations that locals can come watch for free even. I always appreciated that he shared his hobby with everyone rather than just keep it to himself. It was also neat my husband's airplane is in a hangar that we drive by the museum he keeps them in (as well as the hangar his mig is in) so we get to see them many times going to his plane.
I wonder what will happen to his collection now.
Possibly the fact that he has donated over $2 billion to science, education and wildlife conservation including $2 million towards criminalizing the sale of ivory. Giving over $1 million in support of additional regulations on firearms as well as pledging the majority of his c$20 billion fortune to charity? I dunno that seams pretty nice to me...
You are a moron. Because someone has a different political view than you, you can condem them in death. Good luck in life dude.
This. Christ, the kind of people who come into threads about someone's death just to say they're happy about the death of another human being over politics are just absolutely classless, diluted, sad human beings. I didn't agree with his politics, but the man was a philanthropist and his actions proved that he was a caring person; the world has taken a hit with his loss.
When the shit are we gonna cure cancer man?
RIP man.
Wow- I'm sorry but how on earth is this downright moronic post allowed? The guy donated money to the republican party and you call him a "motherfucking billionaire piece of crap in his dying days "??
You ask about his character, yet you have shown yours. You sound like a horrible person.

He showed his character during his life. He was extremely giving, and supported great causes. From what I can tell he donated to both parties. And supported anti-gun legislation.
You should quiet down.

My post was warned yet you call me moronic and nothing...?
Also lol at showing my character. Sorry I actually care about people and don't support or donate to a party that is locking up children in my dying days.
I'm sorry for the loss of Paul. Cancer does suck. But yet no one seems to mind that this person with resources unimaginable to people like you and me still decided on his death bed to donate to the party of *bootstraps* and *fuck you got mine* ? Even though he's given away multitudes of money for other better causes that still seems like a big middle finger to the common person at the end.
Come on! Drama much. Yeah, he's on his deathbed and his last dying wish is to donate to the GOP and then he died. That's not how it works man. He sets up donations ahead of time. Probably has a group dedicated to do so. One of those donations just happens to be the GOP and I'm sure the DNC and whatever causes he believes in.
He still could of put a stop to that. Again we are talking about someone with unimaginable wealth and he was doing it right up into September.
Also countless regular people are dying everyday of cancer in the US and have to either go bankrupt or outright die due to what the republicans don't want (universal healthcare).
Someone like Paul could have really helped with that...
He funded the expeditions that found a lot of WW2 shipwrecks like the IJN Musashi, IJN Fuso, and the USS Indianapolis. His team also recovered the bell from the HMS Hood to serve as a memorial to the crew.
I wonder if those exploration efforts will continue...
