I haven't found anything in the articles I've read.

I know that albinos have some specific health issues, perhaps something related to his albinism. That being said he was 70 years old, a little early but not much.

RIP Johnny, thanks especially for Mean Town Blues, Broke Down Engine & Black Cat Bone.

He lived a very hard life, was addicted to heroin, alcohol and other drugs. He did sober up, but I'm sure that played some role in his death.
He was not in the best of health when he passed away. I'm speculating here but I'd say it was heart failure or similar that ultimately caused his death. He will be missed.

That period around 70 is rough if you're a man. A lot of guys seem to pop off at that age. If you can make it over that hump, you're good for at least another decade or two.
