March 1, 201214 yr Wow the local radio news did not even mention this or I totally missed it. Either way very sad to hear.

That's just not me.
March 1, 201214 yr I just read that he was a health nut. Ran several miles a day, and was a strict vegetarian. Also its now being reported that the night prior to his death he went to the hospital with chest pains. If I recall properly Maurice Gibbs had gone to the hospital with chest pains in FL as well and they botched things up. In fact I believe they were sued and the hospital paid a large settlement. And I thought health care in Las Vegas was poor.
