Oh, don't do that. My lament chiefly derives from the fact that, as I've read, these types of deaths are exceedingly rare. I hate to see one wasted on a guy who was a decent human being, whereas Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Cruise, Adam Duritz, James Dobson, and everyone who still believes Creationism ought to be taught alongside evolution get to walk around. I think Louis Black nailed it when he said no God would take John Fucking Ritter at 52 and let Lennie Riefenstahl live to 101. The deepest tragedy here is the Croc Hunter took a bullet soooooooo many others so richly deserved.

Really, who are you? I'm expecting a riff on assumption of the risk and instead I see a use (in fact, a misuse) of the (overused) word tragedy. Have you started writing for the Today show on the side? Your writing has an odd edgy/sappy quality. If he had died while riding his beloved motorcycle without a helmet we'd say "sad, but what a fucking idiot."
