Keith Campbell, the scientist who helped pioneer the birth of Dolly the sheep, the world's first mammal cloned from fully developed adult cells, has died, according to The University of Nottingham.

Campbell, 58, died on October 5, according to a university statement released Thursday. His funeral has been scheduled for October 24.

The university did not say how he died.

Campbell was part of a team at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland, that cloned Dolly in 1996. Her birth made headlines worldwide, capturing the scientific imagination of many while generating intense controversy over the ethics of cloning.

While Campbell is not listed in research papers as the principal investigator in papers related to Dolly's cloning, the man who is -- Ian Wilmut -- told The Telegraph newspaper in 2009 that Campbell deserved much of the credit for the feat.

Because of my sign-in date. That’s all you did,

No, I explained the process I went through, yet you make up something else, then argue, very trollish.

I think your zot button doesn’t work. Do you think you are a moderator or something? Feel free to report me for being a noob though.

No need to report you, losers who argue along the same lines as you will be nailed shortly, unfortunately, this goes on your permanent record. Next time anyone who looks at you InForum will see and make their zot judgement. Have fun! zot

Personal attack? Nice.

Oooooooh scary. My permanent record? I’m shaking in my boots.

You are so funny playing zot at me. Zot me again! It feels nice.

Seriously, you have succeeded in totally intimidating me. Not.
