Dr. Atkins slipped on a patch of icy pavement, fell back and hit his head on the sidewalk. It took some time but he did succumb to his injury. There was a picture taken of him in his hospital bed (lots of tubes) that showed him to be very fat. He wasn't fat, he was bloated (people can sometimes bloat when they are dying). I saw him on tv a few weeks before his accident. He was tall and lanky. I don't know if his diet is good or bad and I don't care. Fine if you don't care for his food choices but get your information straight. He didn't die a disease ridden fat man.
