You must read carefully...notice that it said "head injuries"

Which "head" I wonder.

I know he was a democrat, but sex with a minor is a crime. So why wasn't Studds prosecuted? I don't recall hearing anything about how he got out of that. Can anyone explain? Thank you

Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!

And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star (he died of AIDS)

Well I'm gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There's a hero inside of all of us
I'll make them see everyone has AIDS

My father (AIDS!)
My sister (AIDS!)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS AIDS AIDS!)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades

Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog 'ol blue (AIDS AIDS AIDS)
The pope has got it and so do you (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
C'mon everybody we got quilting to do (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
We gotta break down these baricades, everyone has
AIDS! x 20

I never heard of anyone being killed walking a dog.....he just fell over bumped his little head and died? Not believable at all.

Now your implied theory has some merit.

He has a brother and sister-in-law who live in Cohasset and 2 nephews. His youngest nephew was a friend of my son's. They're a lovely family who kind of withdrew after his scandal broke. The boys went off to private school and you didn't see much of the rest of the family.

So, that made Gerry Dean's wife and Dean is now a widower.

THUS he gets top glom onto Studd's Congressional pension. Minimum $100,000/year I'll bet
