I first heard about this on the Roadside America website and the first thought that crossed my mind was if it fell on Daniels like something you'd see in the cartoons.
In reality, Jack Daniels was in his office and couldn't get the safe open. In a fit of rage, he kicked the safe, and ended up breaking his toe. Like a typical guy, he didn't want to see a doctor for this, and put it off until it became infected. He had gangrene, which caused his toe to be amputated, then his foot, then his leg, and eventually it claimed his life.
As they say, it wasn't a woman (Daniels was never married) or whiskey that killed him, but a safe.
