He was an alcoholic, which is a recognised illness needing treatment, problem with any 'high flyer' with this type of illness is that its harder for them to overcome.
If you think about it, to get to where they are (whether it's football or acting, singing or anything where they become famous) they have to be stubborn, and work hard to acheive, that inner power makes them more difficult to treat, surely?

But I don't drink, and I'm very much against alcohol, I just don't agree with it. As someone who recently lost a family member who also didn't drink to liver disease, it's difficult to shed too many tears over a man who was given plenty of opportunities to save himself, but he chose not to take those opportunities, and that's down to him, he got what was coming to him in my opinion. Like if somebody moans to me on a Sunday morning they're hungover, I just say "Well who's fault is that?" Some might think I'm a miserable git, fair enough, that's your opinion.
Still, RIP George.
