'Superman' Christopher Reeve Dies at 52
(AP) - "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, who turned personal tragedy into a public crusade and from his wheelchair became the nation's most recognizable spokesman for spinal cord research, has died. He was 52. Reeve died Sunday of complications from an infection caused by a bedsore. He went into cardiac arrest Saturday, while at his Pound Ridge home, then fell into a coma and died Sunday at a hospital surrounded by his family, his publicist said.


i loved watching the Superman movie series growin up, even though a couple of them were made before I was born. i admired the guy more after his tragic accident, he was still able to act and be an advocate for spinal research. to me, thats like the personification of a Superman- down, but never out.

R.I.P. Mr. Reeve, you will be missed

Wasn't ready for this news! Came as a shock alrite!

R.I.P

Rest in Peace Mr Reeve,

It's really sad when someone doing so much for others, and helping build awareness in the world about spinal injuries passes on at a relatively young age...

He really achieved a lot after his injury, I remember when he flew to Australia recently to fight for spinal research here that the government wasn't allowing because of ethical issues, he flew out and gave speeches and raised awareness....

I believe he was a real achiever....
Condolences to his family....

sad

r. i. p....

it really sucks that he died.

i was always waitin for the day when he could walk again.
----to bad

I taught that he would walk again some day!
He was making outstanding progress! Been able to move his wrist, and toes and that!

He was a great person and his impact is widespread. He will be missed!

rip c.reeves

on the lastest episode of smallville it was dedicated to him, with the words
he made man believe, that man could fly

very sad news. He was an inspiration to everyone

yeh he insipired me for my first injury i thank him, if i didnt jump off that ladder thinking i could fly when i was 5, if it wasnt for him i probably wouldnt be accident prone and then never have anything to say!
