Very Sad....... many a artist has been lost to the cult. No one deserves the RPF, especially the lack of appropriate medical care. I will forward condolences to his family and anyone else wanting to should do as well.
I found that his his sister posted his obituary and as well confirmed his death and wrote about his work on a particular album in a blog comment. Here they are:

Dave de Hugard "Freedom on the Wallaby" 1970
Another LP previously posted by me on Time has Told me.
Dave de Hugard is a wonderful old gentleman who has been a regular
folk performer for over forty years and still regularly attends folk
festivals in Australia. This was his first LP originally issued in
1970 under the Music for Pleasure label. It was re-issued (as an LP)
under the Larriken label in 1983. I believe that this is one of the
very best Australian folk music albums ever issued and it is
astonishing that it has never been re-released on CD considering that
Dave is still so popular. The download file contains notes about the
musicians involved and the cover graphic.
For those who would like to hear a more modern performance by this
fine musician his latest CD is available - see his webpage here to
purchase "Songs of the Wallaby Track" another fine album.
