Matti Pellonpää- How did he die?

Does anybody know how he died? He was relatively young. I know he was sort of a working vagabond or "bohemian" who wasn't too concerned with money- not that you got rich making Finnish movies- but even so- but does anybody know how or why he passed away so young?

A late answer.

He died of heart problems. Probably a congenital heart defect.
He was a drinking man and a bohemian, which most likely played part in his early demise.
Just guessing...
