Did Miles Davis of AIDS?

Miles Davis died of a stroke, which was a result of the AIDS infection. He was addicted to alcohol and heroin off and on throughout his life, so not terribly surprising, but very sad. From Hapkidoman: Although it was never proved that Miles Davis died of AIDS, there were indications that he had. He was very sensitive to the subject and would get irate at the mention of it. In his autobiography (Miles: The Autobiography) he says "That made me madder than a [MF'er]...it wasn't true of course." In an article written in 1989, Davis indicated that his ex-wife, Cicely Tyson may have spread that rumor (of him contracting AIDS). If Davis did have AIDS, it most likely came from the years of heroin abuse or the blood transfusions that he endured rather than homosexual encounters.
