RE: What did Alvin Ailey died from?

Answered

I had attended one of their performances a few years back, and was told that Alvin Ailey had died of a rare blood disease. But in school I just heard that it was caused by AIDS actually? Anybody know what the true story is?

The nytimes.com article here says he died in 1989 at age 58 from blood dyscrasia, a rare disorder that affects the bone marrow and red blood cells.
