In the late 1980s, I had the occasion to go to Romania on business. The dictator, Ceaucescu, was still in power. our group stayed at one of his country houses. Each of us was assigned a 'spy'...to watch us (sort of a KGB operative). The person who job was to shadow me confided in me that Arafat was a friend of Ceaucescu and that Arafat had stayed at this very house. He also told me that Arafat liked boys and liked to play 'chase the tiger'. In a later conversation with an arab who arranged business deals with arab businessmen and the U.S., I was told the same thing. Arafat was definetly a 'gender bender'.
I don't know if that gives credence to any of the stories we hear about aids ...and of course he had a lot of medical treatment and could have contracted aids or a simliar disease from transfusions.. but I think aids is definetly a possibility and would certainly be something that the family and the government would do all in their power to hide from the press.
I say who cares. Its just good that the little terrorist bastard is dead as they may finally be a chance for peace in the middle east.
The real 'cause' of universal 'death' is Adam's SIN resulting in the SIN of ALL mankind.
The real 'hope' of 'life' for ALL mankind is ONLY via the salvation 'given' in/by Jesus Christ of Heaven/Nazareth/Heaven.

Or....
Arafat found out he might have had 1/1000th% Hebrew blood, which would mean he'd have been a candidate for a homicide bombing target.....
Or....
The dirtbag died after 'dreaming' that Neo visited him and told Arafat-arse that this was all an illusion and that Arafat-arse was really a little girl, living with a Left-wing Liberal family named Clinton, in a backwards town called Little Rock.
Or...........
It wouldn't surprise me if they are holding back the cause just to fan anti-israel consipracy theories.
