The best theory is that he started to go through withdrawal at some point, paid for a room over a bar, went upstairs and “butchered” himself with a pocketknife. Basically committed seppuku/harakiri with a 4-in blade. Throat and guts. Not a lot of information was reported and most historians think the withdrawal produced hallucinations causing the sudden suicide.
