Superman

Christopher Reeve, the star of the ``Superman'' movies whose near-fatal riding accident nine years ago turned him into a worldwide advocate for spinal cord research, died Sunday of heart failure, his publicist said. He was 52.

"...his publicist said."

Y'know, I don't think it was his publicist that he died of heart faliure ;-)

Considering I cut and paste this from somewhere else I'm not really bothered that it's wrong. :-)

Either way it's just rather sad that he's died.

Fair do, and fair point.

I was a great fan of his and read both his books about fighting with spinal cord injury.

I believe he was 52. My prayers are with his wife and children because he was starting to overcome the injury to walk again some day.
