Re: [Fans of Jussi Bjoerling] Bjoerling's Death

I can not totally reply with full knowledge but I was friendly with Robert
Merrill who just recently passed away and his book Between Acts he devoted an
entire chapter to his friendship with Jussi Bjoerling where he in effect stated
that his excessive drinking came from a blood sugar deficiency, I belive Andrew
Farkas devotes some space to it also.
