Lorenzo of "Lorenzo's Oil" died one week ago today

I'm not sure why it popped into my head, but I was just looking up "Lorenzo's Oil" and discovered that Lorenzo Odone - whose parents came up with the oil that treated him and kept him alive - died just one week ago from aspiration pneumonia.

I've never seen the film, but I've heard of it many times.

I saw this in the news last week. Very sad. I did see the movie when it came out, and it's sad that he died this way after having overcome so much.
