From USA Today:
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.
Reeve fell into a coma Saturday after going into cardiac arrest while at his New York home, his publicist, Wesley Combs told The Associated Press by phone from Washington, D.C., on Sunday night. His family was at his side at the time of death.
I just found out a short while ago and all I can say is… WOW. The phrase “Death of Superman” has never been more truer than it is today. And just when he was on the verge of beating his paralysis… this is truly a sad day.
You’ll be sorely missed, Mr. Reeve. R.I.P.
