Evel Knievel's last jump -- RIP

Fark.com had a wonderful headline for this sad event; let's see if I can remember it, or something close enough: "Evel Knievel dies of natural causes; 40 years ago who would have imagined it?"
If you look back at Knievel's life and the amount of damage that he dealt to his own body, both as a daredevil and through substance abuse, I don't think he died of particularly natural causes. I think he just beat his body into submission, and it finally tapped out. Unfortunately, it took him with it. Sort of a Pyrrhic Victory, really.Ebony the Black Dragon
