Never met him, but certainly enjoyed his contributions to the board and his unique point of view. The King has passed, long live the King!
From conversations with Dan's family and other close friends, just this evening: It has been conclusively established that Dan passed away as result of a freak discharge of a loaded gun, a discharge that he inadvertently caused. He was severely wounded in the stomach and was already unconscious by the time he was taken by EMS to Grady Hospital. He was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Information received tonight indicates intent for a memorial/ funeral service in Atlanta. Details will follow as soon as possible on the arrangements
