Shocking and tragic news from Steven B. Krivit:
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Gene Mallove, who was killed on May 14, 2004 apparently due to some sort of involvement with a property dispute. It is considered by the police to be a homicide and an investigation is underway.
Gene is survived by his wife Joanne, son Ethan and daughter Kim. No funeral arrangements are known at this time.
Gene Mallove, who, in his 1991 book "Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth behind the Cold Fusion Furor," was the first to courageously and boldly express the truth behind cold fusion, long before any science journalist even dared to ask questions that challenged the prevailing view. For 15 years, Gene maintained the cold fusion "torch" at great personal sacrifice, which initially drew many to learn the truth behind cold fusion.

I'm listening also...
I tolerated the promoting of the movie based on his book, and his change of tune to "it's only science fiction...", and the
misleading statements dragging NASA in for credibility and conspiracy, and even put up with Hoaxie's -"We were going to meet with him next week...", BS.
David was the last straw till the next hour, maybe.
So, do you think there really is a conspiracy to knock off scientists that want "to make the world better (Hoaxie approximation)"?
ping
I dont believe the conspiracy thing.
Art has little patience with Richard H. also. If you listen to Art carefully you can tell what he thinks is hooey and not. He did say earlier that his book is being taken out of context.
He said the book is about possible events that may have been influnced by our affect on the envoronment.
How sad. RIP.
Dr. Eugene Mallove was a FReeper who was murdered two days ago.
Dr. Mallove was a scientific accurate cold fusioneer,
the best voice in the community and an MIT alumnus ('69).
The recent grandfather was brutally murdered Friday in Connecticut.
He wrote the seminal 1991 book "Fire from Ice: Searching for the Truth behind the Cold Fusion Furor".
Dr. Gene will be very missed on Free Republic.
May God help and comfort his family, wife Joanne, son Ethan and daughter Kim.
We greatly miss him already.
Praying for his family. This is incredibly sad.
What was his FR name? Dr. Gene?
Sure....
From the dedication page of The Coming Global Superstorm:
"To my fellow humans who will libe to see man's handiwork unfold as nature returns balance to the planet - Art Bell"
From the jacket:
"[book] is a careful and impressively researched examination of the best of modern environmental science in the most compelling and necessary book of the millennium."
I said he was changing his tune to "science fiction".
That is not how the book was portrayed.
It's a lousy read too. Had to force myself to skim the last third. I couldn't take it any more. I've stated before
it reads like the interludes in a Clive Cussler novel. When Cussler's having a writing block. But it's whole book, not
a break between the action.
I picked up "Superstorm" at B&N last year, used hardcover. And I was there Friday, but didn't go for Hoaxie's book (one copy, used, $8).
Was it "vlad"?
NORWICH -- A 56-year-old former Norwich man was killed during a suspected robbery and brutal assault at his family home on Salem Turnpike Friday.Dr. Eugene F. Mallove, a Norwich Free Academy graduate, published author and father of two, died of multiple injuries to his head and neck, according to an autopsy performed Saturday at the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner in Farmington. The death was ruled a homicide.
Police would not confirm Mallove's identity Saturday pending positive identification by family members.
Mallove was discovered at the small 119 Salem Turnpike house at 10:55 p.m. Friday after police received a report of an injured person.
At the house, situated at the entrance to Interstate 395 in
a primarily commercial area, police found Mallove unresponsive, the victim of an assault. He was later pronounced dead by medical personnel called to the scene.
Police said initial investigation indicated a robbery, during which a physical confrontation took place. Several unidentified items were taken from the scene and Mallove's vehicle was missing, according to a written statement released by Norwich police.
Several hours later, Mallove's 1993 green Dodge Caravan was found in the Foxwoods employee parking lot on Route 2 in Preston. The vehicle is easily identifiable by several large bumper stickers, including an American flag and his company Web site, www.infinite-energy.com, in the rear window. The New Hampshire license plate bears the registration INFNRG.
Police are now seeking information from anyone who saw the vehicle between 7 p.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday.
Police declined to provide further details of the killing Saturday.
Cars sped past the quiet Salem Turnpike home Saturday, where a large Dumpster was situated alongside the home in the driveway. Several cars, which looked as though they hadn't been moved in some time, are near the two-bay detached garage.
The home, owned by Mallove's parents since 1958, is now under Eugene Mallove's care, according to city records.
Mallove, with his wife, Joanne, had moved to Pembroke, N.H., from Norwich in 1987.
In New Hampshire, Mallove was the president of the nonprofit New Energy Foundation and since 1995 the editor-in-chief of the organization's magazine Infinite Energy.
The bimonthly magazine covers topics of new technological innovations in energy and science and follows developments in the field, according to its Web site.
Infinite Energy managing editor Christy Frazier worked with Mallove for the past six years and had become very close.
She called Mallove the "most caring and giving person I probably have ever known -- a very successful, brilliant man.
"It's been a wonderful, wonderful experience. It's hard not to love the things he loves because he's so passionate," she said. "He touched the lives of everybody he came in contact with."
Mallove's parents, Mitchel and Gladys Mallove, had followed their son's move to New Hampshire in 1988. His father, the son of Russian immigrants, died in March 2003 after a long illness, according to a published obituary. He is buried at the Hebrew Benevolent Cemetery in Norwich.
Eugene Mallove had become a grandfather just this year and was caring for his mother, who has Alzheimer's disease, Frazier said. She said Mallove was a Norwich Free Academy graduate.
He held a master of science degree and bachelor of science degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received a science doctorate in environmental health sciences from Harvard University in 1975.
He also taught science journalism at MIT and Boston University and previously was chief science writer at the MIT news office.
He is the author of numerous technical articles and of several books, including the Pulitzer-nominated book on cold fusion titled, "Fire and Ice: Searching for the Truth Behind the Cold Fusion Furor."
Anyone with information can call Norwich police at 886-5561, or the anonymous tip line at 886-5561, Ext. 500.
Very sad and outrageous. Condolences to the family and to his friends.
A sad and incredible bump.
What a shame. I still have hopes for cold fusion to pan out

Dear Lord,
Please bring comfort and peace that only
You can give to Dr. Mallove's family.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
I am so sorry. May God comfort his widow and family.
This fellow's name will be added to the list of scientists who have met untimely deaths the last couple of years or so.
