Sorry, pet peeve. But as a newspaper man, that headline makes me want to cringe. 'Taken by death.' OUCH!!

I agree bluedevil. I can still remember the day in June 1959 when my
Dad got home from work and handed me the newspaper that said
"Superman Kills Self".They sure didn't pull any punches back then.
