Sorry to hear that. From the stories I'm hearing on the news, his daughter was fortunate to have those two minutes to say goodbye. It sounds like many are dying without any family able to see them first.

I think I'm going to start a thread of celebrities lost to the virus. I think the list will only get longer. :-(
