"cardiac arrest or overdose???"Most likely, complications from MS. He was in the hospital frequently for it.

At last we agree on something. :-) At last! :^)
I'm going to watch that the In Concert tape tonight to enjoy his humor all over again, but I have a feeling I'll be crying and laughing at the same time.

Just checking to see if anyone was paying attention.

This was before.
You have to figure all those years of drugs didn't leave a constitution strong enough to withstand MS for too very long.
Prayers for his family.

Honestly, sometimes my husband and I wonder just WHAT we would say if we couldn't use Richard Pryor jokes in our day to day conversations!
Remember (from that concert) "Oh, S**T, he broke?"
The thing about Pryor was on most things, he was right. A very perceptive and intelligent man.
