The Mysterious Death of a Musical Giant.

The world was shocked by the sudden, mysterious death of Marvin Hamlisch, the reason is because according to the family "he dropped death after a brief illness," a theory that strikes terror at the heart of everyone.  Did he have a heart attack?  A stroke?  A fulminant kind of cancer?  People just don't drop death out of the blue.  I understand they may want to guard their privacy, but by withholding the real reason, they are only fueling more  and more speculation.  He was only sixty eight years old and in seemingly good health, looking forward to composing more and more hits and contributing more and more to the world.  A man like that just doesn't drop death overnight.  It's a shame because instead of focussing on the huge loss his death represents, most of us are focussing on the mysterious circumstances.  He was a public figure, he belonged to us and I think we are entitled to know what he died of so we can mourn him properly.
