You have to wonder if his wife's passing in June was a contributing factor to his passing. RIP Monty, I'm sure you made a heck of a deal!
You can bet your house on it.

When Yogi Berra's wife, Carmen, died in 2014, six weeks after their 65th anniversary, I knew
it was just a matter of time before Yogi joined her. Which he did, sixteen months later. He
was once asked his greatest accomplishment and, pointing to the door through which she
had just passed, he said, "Getting her to marry me. Who would have thought?"

Wow, I did not know he was still alive.

Obscure fact: his name was the basis for a role-playing game term.

@Ghost Bear

Your post lays out exactly what went through my mind when I read the news!

Tom Petty dies at 66



Petty was lead singer of The Heartbreakers, which had consistent success on the rock and top-40 charts from 1978 to 1994. Other bands in which Petty performed included Mudcrutch, which had originally formed in the early 1970s but reunited in 2008 to greater success; and the Traveling Wilburys, a supergroup that included Petty, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison.

Petty was found unresponsive in his car October 2, in what was later determined to be total cardiac arrest, and was ruled brain dead at the hospital, where he would be taken off life support.

Tom Petty?  Geez!  Only about 2 years older than I.  Great body of work. 

Rest in peace, man.

I guess I'm totally unfamiliar with who Tom Petty is. I was thinking he had something to do with car racing.  :shrug:

Anyway, the older I get, the younger 66 sounds. Prayers for his loved ones.

I had to look him up to find out about him.  I'm not a rocker so I had no idea before. 66 is WAY too young.

LAPD says they haven't heard that Petty had died.

http://www.msn.com/ene-us/music/celebrity/tom-petty-on-life-support-after-cardiac-arrest-according-to-reports/ar-AAsPaul?li=BBnbfcL

Thanks. CBS and ABC are also casting doubts on the story that Petty died. 

By the way - life support could mean he is on a respirator.  I was hooked up to that after my cardiac arrest and I survived.  Apparently, the respirator is SOP after a cardiac arrest -- at least it was back when I had mine.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@Applewood

There is another news report that says he is in the hospital,still living and being treated. Didn't read more than the headline,though.
