That was a tradegy, and so many died from the cancer. I tend to beleive that it was a combination of things. Duke was a heavy smoker, and I believe that did him in more than anything.
I had a neighbor who worked for the federal government and was at the test site back in the 50's. He smoked a pipe but quit before I met him some 30 years ago. He died of cancer over 4 years ago, and thought that he might have contacted the cancer from the desert.
We did have a discussion on this subject before.
