How sad. :( I hope his soul is at rest.

Even though he was a member of the same Fraternity as I, he was considered divisive amongst a lot of our brothers. I didn't like his politics and especially his Iraq stance but am sorry he passed away. Especially due to a medical error in surgery.

I also feel sorry for the surgeon who will probably be sued by his estate.

I havent read up on it further but one of two things (or both) probably happened--the surgical team failed to use sterile technique at some point or another during the procedure and an infection resulted, or two--something got knicked with the knife that shouldnt have resulting in an infection.

I am not a fan of his politics either like most sitting in congress right now--even from my own party, but I wouldnt wish any of them physical harm. Being fired by the American people yes--harm no. :)
