This is a copy of the email I sent out to 147 people in Ken's address book this morning. Dear Friends, Sometime last night after having so many days of good health and vitality in the hospital, Ken's heart stopped. He was flat-lined for about three minutes. Doctor's revived him and he is now back in a deep coma in the ICU. The doctor's couldn't explain this strange turn of events in his health. We were given the "get his affairs in order" speech by is doctor. People in our local area receiving this, be advised that Ken's name on the hospital's public patients listings have been suppressed due to privacy concerns. Visitors also have been restricted to a list of eight family members, sorry. In Ken's living will it states that after 30 days in an incapacitated state or where he in on life support all machinery is to be stopped, IV's removed and a DNR (do not resuscitate)activated. Thank you, Nicole Rienhart-Drumm

(...) I don't know Ken :/ but what does this mean: (taken from a posting of his 6 months ago) "Ok now to the good stuff My name is Ken (duh) I am holding onto 29 years old as hard as I can (for 6 years)" This sort of scares me! Is this a problem he (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.ny.bin, lugnet.people)
