He apparently had a heart attack after shoveling snow at his home.

He retired a couple of years ago but still wrote columns for the Lawrence Eagle Tribune and was leaving this week for the tsunami area.

1. Oh dear

I used to read his column when I was in college back there.

This is a bad day: we lost two "grown-ups" in the news and entertainment business, Carson and Nyhan.

2. And a historical figure as well (for better or worse)

Rosemary Woods, of the famous eighteen and a half minute gap during the Nixon regime, died today. I wonder if she left a journal. I hope she did.

3. Very sad. Also, a worthy reminder to be mindful of the

stress that shoveling snow can put on the heart. I'm not trying to diminish the importance or solemnity (right word for this?) of his death; just trying to remind everyone here to be careful.

4. no, it's important

i think the people who lose their lives also would probably like for others to learn from it and try to avoid it.

5. I was so sorry to hear this.

I liked his writing and perceptions.

6. Sad....he influenced a lot of people when he was writing for the Globe.

It was a great paper in the 70s....

7. This is really sad news.

David Nyhan was a man who could think straight and had a great sense of humor as well. His absence will be felt.
