WHO CARES!!! Just because they were celebrities they get the national media coverage for days on end. They weren't vets. They weren't heroes. Why don't the people that risk their lives everyday for others (i.e. - vets, police, fire, and yes even school teachers). Start showing these people on the national news every time one passes and you just might see the nation realize where REAL role models come from. As I told my wife when she was talking about the latter three, "I don't care". I care about the vet that didn't get any turnout at their funeral. I care about the police officer that just gets the stupid comment, "That was their job. They knew the risks".

These are the REAL heroes of America. Not a couple of pitchmen or a pop star. TO me they're no better than anyone else in the world. They're dead. Leave them that way.

But of course this is just my personal opinion...and as my dad used to tell me, "You don't know the difference between your azz and a hole in the ground".

Given the symptoms.. probably had hemmorhage. Sudural or epidural(has to break the temporal bone in order to lacerate the middle menigeal artery). They have the best prognosis of any head bleed(artery bleed)- Of course you have to have access to a neurosurgeon, for it to be treatable-in order to have good prognosis.

Only the postmortem with tell.

Will he be buried with or without the glove?

I thought his plan wasn't to be buried at all. Instead, I understood that he had a cryogenic chamber in the basement where he could be frozen until a "cure" for whatever killed him could be found. At such a time, he would be resurrected.

A cure for an OD?? Actually, I heard that because of the high concentrate of plastic he had surgically implanted into his body, plans have been made to melt him down into Legos. This will enable little children to play with him for a change.
