I didn't know you could still die of pneumonia in 2008, especially in a country with Western health care and all... it sounds so Middle Ages.
My brother was hospitalized in March for pneumonia and pleuresy [has been smoking since he was 15], but he is out now.
So yes, I'm tempted to think Brando Jr. must have been doing something else [like the cocaine Jersey mentioned], or the pneumonia had actually led to lung cancer.
Just my uninformed guess.

i had pneumonia when i was 4 and it was bad.. they had me hooked up with all type of tubes and i remember them putting plastic all around covering the hospital bed..i couldnt even leave the bed (even to use the bathroom) .. as i started recovering and when i was well enough to leave the bed, they allowed me to start playing with the other kids, but ... i had to be in a wheelchair, hooked up with an IV taped with a board under my arm.. all this happening in the late 70's though.. this is really sad that this happened to Marlon's son...Pneumonia is nothing to play with..
