Christopher Reeve Dead??? Is this true??

Per an article at drudgereport.com

"Nikki Finke in Los Angeles is reporting that actor Christopher Reeve is dead, according to sources close to the actor. He died suddenly Sunday. News of his death has not been reported publicly yet. His family will make an announcement Monday at the earliest. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live presidential debate by John Kerry. Noting he was a friend of the paralysed Reeve, Kerry said he was in favor of further stem cell research because Reeve could walk again one day thanks to such science"

Does anyone know if there has been any kind of confirmation of this? If it is true it makes me very sad. He has just been such an inspiration since his accident. If it is true my sympathies and prayers go out to his family.

I just saw your post Dan and so sadly it is true. He was such an inspiration. How sad that it was caused by a darn pressure sore. My dad had started developing those a few months before he passed away and they truly were a nightmare for him. So I say a prayer for the Reeve family for strength and guidance during this very difficult time.
