When well-known people die, it serves to underscore the fragility of life and remind us all that death is no respecter of age, gender, education or social status. And no less tragic are the deaths of an estimated 1.8 million children per year due to contaminated water sources and the unhygienic conditions that often accompany living in poverty -- a tragedy intensified by the fact that these deaths are preventable.
