Josef Issels killed Bob Marley.

Okay, not really. Cancer killed Bob Marley. But Issels wasn't very helpful. Issels is responsible for developing "Issels Combination Therapy", which is an alternative to standard cancer treatment procedures. The Issels plan is based largely on diet, laetrile, chelation, and the removal of fillings from the patient's teeth. The regimen has been panned by Quackwatch.[1]

When Marley was diagnosed with melanoma, he eschewed medical treatment and instead consulted Issels. He died less than a year later.
