IceEiji 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I was sad to hear about the dead of Christopher Reeve today. When I was younger I loved those movies, they were wonderful - he was a hero of mine. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 That is too bad. His fame drew a lot of attention and money to the research of spinal cord injuries. I'm sure the past 9 years had been difficult for him. I think para/quadrapaligics worldwide looked to him as a voice in their quest to find a cure to (and draw money to the research of) spinal cord paralisys. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Sad, I really liked him. When I was younger because he was Supes, recently for all the good work he did. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Very sad. For an enlightening read, check out his book "Still Me". Link to post Share on other sites

guzzlers-baps 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I used to have such a crush on him. It's a shame this happened when he seemed to be making progress and really being positive about everything. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 That is very sad. He was a very good spokesperson for spinal cord problems. What did he die of?? Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I think he lapsed into a coma the day before he died...but I am not sure why... He truly was a great spokesman for para/quadrapaligics. One of my life-long friend's father got into a major road-biking accident last year and is now in a wheel chair and on a long and slow road to recovery. This man was the most active 50+ year old I knew, and went riding (on snow and on pedals) with me many times...so sad to see that happen to someone...

meat 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Very sad. As for what happened: >>> Reeve went into cardiac arrest Saturday at his home in Westchester County, New York, after developing a serious systemic infection during treatment for a pressure wound. He slipped into a coma and died Sunday afternoon at a hospital near his home. Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Sad stuff indeed but Superman never really dies. I like to think good energy sticks around. Link to post Share on other sites

giggsy 0 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I met the guy about few years back. My mums brother is over in the states and his dad (still with me) was involved in an accident end ended up in a fairly similar situation to Chris Reeve. Because of this he had the chance to meet him at some fundraising events and talks he did - I went to one and met the guy. It is very sad. Link to post Share on other sites
nori-chan 0 Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I only watched the Superman movie 10 days ago. It was very shock to hear that. Link to post Share on other sites
