RIP Christopher Reeve

Post by Natasha (candygirl) » Oct 11th 2004, 2:15 am

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, his publicist said. He was 52.

Reeve fell into a coma Saturday after going into cardiac arrest while at his New York home, said his publicist, Wesley Combs told The Associated Press by phone from Washington, D.C., on Sunday night.

:cry:

You could have sex with me if you really want to help...I guess that's a "no"?

This is awful. After his astounding progress following his accident, and his tireless campaigning... :cry:

This is really upsetting news. Since early childhood I have always adored Christopher Reeve (much like my love of Bob Hope, I think it may be routed in his appearance on The Muppet Show.) Mr. Reeve exhibited great spirit and bravery for years, my sympathy goes out to his family.

I just heard it this morning on the radio and I'm shocked. This is really sad. It was admirable how he fought against his paralysis since his accident.

I read the news five minutes ago. I still can't believe it. Superman is dead. May he rest in peace.

Wow, that is a shocker. He was more of a Superman after the accident than before, may we all learn from his strength of character. He will be missed.

I am saddened by this news. I heard it on the radio this morning and couldn't believe it. He was only 52...

Yeah,

I also heard about this morning, incredibly sad. Where others might have died from dispair or simply lived a reclusive life Christopher Reeve chose to lead by example. A stronger man I cannot think of.

He will be missed but I think the causes he fought for will live on.
