 Daily Lush Magazine: Death Drinks of Rock Stars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Ron McKernan, known since high school as “Pigpen,” wouldn’t enjoy such a metaphysical end.
McKernan drank so much that it only took a few years for his liver to begin to fail; he quit alcohol in 1971, but two years later was dead of a hemorrhage in his booze-weakened gastrointestinal tract.
He died in 1996 of the same cause as Ron McKernan: a hemorrhaged gastrointestinal tract, in this case brought on by a decade of alcoholism that had made it impossible for Panozzo to participate in any of his band’s recordings or tours in the mid-90s.

 Grateful Dead - Rockin' the Rhein (Album Review)
Fortunately, the latter was more often the rule than the exception to it, holding true not only in general terms but also at the concert in question, which took place on April 24 at the Rheinhalle in Dusseldorf, West Germany.
Perhaps, one of the most interesting aspects about Rockin’ the Rhein is the manner in which it spotlights both of the Grateful Dead’s keyboard players at the time: Ron "Pigpen" McKernan and Keith Godchaux.
By early 1972, founding member Pigpen was suffering the ill-effects of his hard-living lifestyle, and although this trek across Europe was his last hurrah, he didn’t allow his final efforts to go to waste.

 Jambands.com | CD Reviews | Rare Cuts and Oddities 1966 - The Grateful Dead | 2005-05-08
1966 was an era in Grateful Dead music that was led by the ample skills of Ron McKernan's ageless white hipster with a mojo supernaturally linked to fl blues harp and vocals.
The Dead roar on killer speed throughout their first extended rave up which then drops into a exquisite reading of "Betty and Dupree" -- a ballad for the ages which foreshadows the many soft ‘moment of silence' songs that Garcia would conjure up with lyricist Robert Hunter.
Drummer Bill Kreutzmann is playing so fast on "Caution" that he forces the whole group to maintain pace while McKernan delivers one of his great harp-filled vocal performances.
