Such episodes made him a ishmael in the music business and toward the end of his life, he had turn a street person, reportedly sighted in drug-infested inner city hangouts. He died in 1987 from a physical flogging free electrocution patch trying to break in into the Midnight Club in Fort Lauderdale. Nearly entirely forgotten at the fourth dimension of his destruction, Pastorius was immediately canonized after (Marcus Miller wrote a tune "Mr. Pastorius" in his pureness) -- as well tardily for him to have received therapy or aid.
