Eddie was fucked on drugs for years and destroyed his body because of it. He was clean at the end but the damage was done.
Fans fucking loved him though to the point his face-heel turn near the end was rejected and he became a "lovable rogue" with his 'lie, cheat, steal' motto/gimmick.
While unfortunate dying so young it was still a better ending than that of his former WCW teammate Benoit.
I've always wondered if Eddie's death contributed to Benoit's madness, as they pretty much happened one after another, or if it was purely the brain damage from the drugs and concussions.
