Jack LaLanne, Fitness Guru, Dies at 96 (commercial, pretty, blues, TV)

It appears the cause of death was respiratory failure due to pneumonia.

That is sad, if he avoided vaccines as part of his holistic approach and did not take the pneumonia vaccine.

There are absolutely no details, but he most likely died of old age.

G-d bless him. I grew up watching him on tv. Even up to the end he was hawking a healthy lifestyle with his Power Juicer.

RIP, Jack.

LaLanne died of respiratory failure due to pneumonia Sunday afternoon at his home in Morro Bay on California's central coast, his longtime agent Rick Hersh said.

He did good. Worked up until the end with no prolonged period of debilitation. You can't ask for better than what he got (and he worked for it!)

Well, George Burns outlasted him by two years, and HE smoked and drank!

Can't help wondering why Jack got pneumonia. I remember watching him sometimes when I was a little girl.

Definitely a fitness pioneer way ahead in time.

Bummer, bet he was counting on 100. Wonder how his dad took the news?

A LOT of us here in California were counting on it. Would have been a huge event had he made it to 100.
