From another list:
John Fahey died this morning following heart bypass surgery earlier this
week.
John went into the hospital last week following several weeks of chest and
arm pain and was told he'd had a heart attack. He elected to have the
bypass--sextuple, as it turned out--with a sober but optimistic outlook. He
had the operation Monday morning and remained heavily sedated thereafter. By
Wednesday night, his kidneys had shut down and, following a further
unsuccessful heart procedure Thursday morning, he was placed on life support.
He was removed from life support sometime around 11 am today.
