Alas.
Stephen was a victim of the H1N1 Virus.
Stephen KNEW he was seriously ill.
He left Boulder and made a bus trip to California where he checked himself
into a hospital.
He was having breathing difficulties and subsequently was put on a
respirator with tubes in his nose, and a hose down his throat.
To make him more comfortable, he was given a tracheotomy through which were
placed the respirator tubes and the hose.
He was under HEAVY sedation.
He had a fit of coughing, and coughed the tubes and hose out of the
tracheotomy, and before the attendants could get them replaced, he
suffocated.
RIP **SPV

Wow -- karma *is* a bitch.
Never heard those details
before -- not pretty....

To die like that MUST have been VERY mystical. Heavily sedated, and going
into anoxia. One can but wonder if HE was aware of what was happening.
I quite often find myself thinking of all the fun times that I had that are
related to Stephen. For all his ego mania, and contentiousness, he wasn't as
BAD a person as he would like to have had everyone think he was, if you know
what I mean.
Anyway, hope you are well.
