The irony would be if he was on life support before he died.
Speaking of irony, the top-of-hour radio news had these two stories back-to-back. First, they announced the death of Kevorkian. Then it was announced that some French doctors had developed a new artifical, implantable heart. They stated that if the new heart could be used to extend lives six months, it would be a success.
I was saddened to hear of the death of James Arness. I don't know how many hours I've spent in front of a TV watching Gunsmoke.
As far as the other death of the day, the world is a better place without Kevorkian.
