Obituary for Michael Stern Hart, Project Gutenberg Founder
I suppose many would consider this both indecorous and perverse, but I really am curious about the cause of death in cases such as these.  It is usually omitted in cases of suicide or some particularly nuanced, possibly embarrassing disease.<p>I don't care about specifics, I am just disturbed when all reports tiptoe around the cause of death as if it just "spontaneously" happened to a man who was merely 64.<p>It sounds from some of his recent public writings like he may have been struggling with a terminal disease, but not being an associate of his, I have no way of knowing that.
