After acting, Caine worked at Selfridge's department store, including in furniture delivery, later becoming a writer; he was also supported by an allowance from his brother, who also bought him two houses, "one to live in and one to rent so he could have some money to buy some booze". Having suffered from alcoholism,[4] Caine was diagnosed with leukemia in early 2008. He died in his sleep in January 2013 in Ruislip, West London.[5]
