I always read that he got into a car accident and died, until I read this:

Subroc (MF DOOM's brother) from KMD's death in 1994. Cage tells of the last night he spent with him. The last night anyone saw him.
Interviewer: What were you and Subroc doing the last time you saw him alive?
Rage: We had dinner. We went out to a shytty restaurant in New York City. I was living in Greenwich Village at the time, on Great Jones Street by Back in Time Café, which no longer exists. And we went out, ate, came back, smoked a lot of weed, played two games of chess. I won the fist game, he won the next, and on the third game we were so bombed we went to sleep. I woke up at eight in the morning, and he was gone. I called his house, talked to his mother and sister to see if he had gotten home.
Interviewer: Did he drive home?
Rage: No, no. He didn't have a car at that time. Anyway, I called home, asked in they had seen him, and they said, 'naw, naw.' A couple hours later they're calling me up like 'Where's he at?' I said, 'yo, he left. I woke up at eight o'clock in the morning, and he was gone.' And the next thing I know at six o'clock in the evening I get a conference call from Bobbito and Pete Nice telling me, 'Sub's in the hospital, he might not make it through the night.' It shocked me. I know he died because of injuries because he was hit by cars, and I remember hearing he had contusions of the brain which were caused by the accident. Some people said they saw him running into traffic, others say he was chased into traffic. And [the cops] never investigated it. They just closed the case. It was sad. I don't like to open up old wounds. That was a fukked up time. And for a long time people speculated that I had something to do with it. For a good year.
Interviewer: That must have hurt.
Rage: I was just a kid, Sub was my friend. That [point in my life] was a wild ride. I was six months out of the mental hospital, and then I was living out all my rap fantasies. And then one of the friends I had made through the music, whom I had learned a lot from and had been a big fan of since before I met him, just ends up getting killed. And then people are looking at you like, 'well, you were the last person with him.' I found out that fact through Daniel. I didn't know DOOM very well back then, but after Sub died we started talking, and he'd be like, 'oh, my brother used to talk about you all the time, Cage this, Cage that.' Then somewhere down the line DOOM and I went separate ways.
