'It's just a matter of time.' <br />Manson's health had been steadily declining for months. <br />In January, he was rushed to Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield for severe intestinal bleeding and a sigmoid lesion. <br />Sources told TMZ that doctors wanted to operate immediately but Manson had refused.
