Whoa...Harley Flanagan was one of my childhood heroes!  Scary looking dude, tatooed all over (from the eighties before it became so commonplace)---but the guy could play some freaking bass.  Check out pretty much ANY track off of the Cro Mags' Best Wishes from '87.  The guy was a tour-de-force of pick-driven punk mayhem.
 
I'm sorry to hear about this poor turn of events...

wow... Harley always seemed like a really intense guy, but this is something else. definitely unfortunate.
