That is unfortunate.  Not meaning to sound horrible, but I wish he'd died yesterday.  The families must've been having a hard time since his bleeding started.

I don't think the media helped them much either. Maybe it's just me, but every radio and TV news bulletin came across as "He's not dead yet, tune in again in another hour". We all knew he was seriously ill and his chances were slim, there was no need for the media to be circling like vultures :angry:

That's kinda all we've heard over the past so many years.  His memory's been tarnished by the media.  {bleep}s.
