I saw that too, looks like it is true. Joking aside, to survive this long from his injuries I think I can say he really was a Superman.

It is not true.

CNN would definatly have something about it if it was.

Anyway, he is still a great man that overcome many obstacles in his life & lives with another.

Here a tribute to you Superman. You will always be my hero!!!

From the looks of the other content on the site, I would says its bull. I have been firmly convinced that as long as you set your mind to something, anything is possible. Christopher is living proof of that. He has come so far since the accident. It is truly amazing.

Since the Drudge Report is the source, there is the possibility that it is not true .... I hope that is the case. Christopher, even in a wheelchair, stands very tall as an outstanding example of dignity and courage ..... a man to be admired.

Yep, I heard it on the Drudge radio show while I was driving tonight... the news was about 5 minutes old then, and only on Drudge's site. Soon after CNN picked it up...

It is quite sad that he has died. He was a great example of courage and fighting till the end. I may disagree with some of his views, but that doesn't change the fact that he was a man to be admired.

Bummer, I always liked him. At least now he's not in pain and suffering. He truly was Superman for trying as hard as he did for so long!

Rest in Peace ...
