I don?t know what he died of, but I heard he went fast.

Maury Wills Passes Away.

In the spring of 1959, the Dodgers once again sold him, again on an option basis, this time to the Detroit Tigers. Wills, playing mostly in B games, went 11-for-23, and stole eight bases. The Tigers, though, had traded for shortstop Rocky Bridges. Wills returned to the Dodgers, who sent him back to Spokane. ?But I didn?t feel despondent,? Wills said. ?Being in spring training with the Tigers and having a chance to make the big leagues was the greatest experience I had had in my career.?
