The man who couldn't die, is dead.

I can't understand how he managed to live as long as he did.

truely.

Knievel's death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.

Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills.

Longtime friend and promoter Billy Rundel said Knievel had trouble breathing at his Clearwater condominium and died before an ambulance could get him to a hospital.

"It's been coming for years, but you just don't expect it. Superman just doesn't die, right?" Rundel said.

Did he have a son who died during a stunt?

No, I guess not. Seems he's 'shattering more records than bones'...

I got multiple scars cuz of that man...






RIP Evel.

I just heard an interview with a son of his on NPR. I was shocked that he was only 69. Seems he came from another age all together.

he made the last big jump !

The History channel is airing a bio. He was an incredibly driven man, with a lot of smarts, and brass balls....
