I can NOT verify but I "heard" it had something to do with a
defective gauge or valve on a portable
oxygen tank he was using after leaving Kennestone Hospital, after being
treated for an infection. Can anyone dispute, verify or add to this?
A very short obit was in the AJC Saturday 10-11-08 [It was NOT in the
MDJ]. Here's the AJC obit link:

There's also an obituary published Sunday 10-12-08 in the Daily
Tribune in Cartersville, GA. ---------------------------
