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.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.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.
