I starting writing a piece this morning comparing, of all things, the lives of the recently departed. On the surface Christopher Reeve and Ken Caminiti lead very different lives. In the end, though, one was in denial about his situation and one came as clean as he could. I stopped writing the piece when I realized that my conclusion was coming off as incredibly snarky.

More on Reeve when my senses have cleared. A tragic end, though, and one that I can tell you could have certainly been prevented and I'm shocked that it wasn't. A pressure sore appears to have been the culprit. All the medical care surrounding him and a pressure sore abscessed. The mind boggles.
