I just got a Breaking News email from CNN that Johnny Cash has passed away in Nashville at the age of 71. Upon looking at the site I also see that John Ritter also died in the last few hours. Ritter apparently collapsed while rehearsing for his ABC show, and he died a few hours after he collapsed on the set. Cash appears to have died from complications from his diabetes, which was surely not helped by his heavy alcohol and drug use. Cash was said by friends to have not been the same since his wife June died. I grew up knowing Cash's name very well, and I grew up watching Ritter on TV in Three's Company. This is a sad day for me, and after a day spent remembering the victims of September 11 2 years ago, this week has truly become a very sad one. Johnny, your fans now truly Hurt.

I don't want to be a smartass, but you are saying that Ritter died twice.
Yeah, my screw up. He collapsed on set, and died in hospital. Post corrected.
Friend's husband had the same condition as Ritter -- it was luck as much as anything that he survived. They said he was 10 minutes from dying when they opened him up.
Sad stuff all around
