Woah, this was unexpected. They just had an article about him and his life not too long ago in the Readers Digest and he seemed fine..

I'm so saddened by this. This is the Superman I grew up watching. And then I continued to watch him when he acted after his accident. He was a great inspiration to many. Rest in peace Mr. Reeve...

Yeah, can't believe he died, he's really had a tough life being paralyzed and all. I was shocked when I found out the other morning.

He had a heart attack while they were curing or examining an infection he had.

It must really suck being Quadripletic or whatever.. unable to move anthing below his head. :( he was making progress too.

this is truly truly sad. there are a few people in my school who say that Bush killed him. How? I will try to explain this as best I can in their words. Reeves wanted to have the Stem Cells be tried on him because they weren't sure if it would work or not. He didn't really have much to lose. He eitehr regains movement, stays the same....or dies. BUT Bush banned Stem Cell research so Reeves was not able to service the research. If he had been able to, this could have been a breakthrough. If it had worked, the methods would be implemented on those with similar conditions (who want to), but if it didn't work, then the researchers would know they made a mistake. So, technically, it was Dubya's fault.
