Henson died of HIV, I believe. No surprises here.

Henson died of organ failure due to Strep A....responsible for things like strep throat and rheumatic fever....this is not pneumocystis which is associated with AIDS

No...Henson died from the bacteria that causes strep throat. He didn’t go to a hospital until it was too late, likely due to his Christian Science upbringing. He was never gay or an itravenous drug user. He did NOT die of HIV infection.

First I've ever heard that!

A lot of people have bacterial pnuemonia that aren't HIV.

He died of pneumonia.

My memory is that Jim Henson died of a virulent blood infection after refusing for days to get medical help because he was a member of the Christian Science Church. It was too late when he did go for medical help. This sticks in my mind because I took sick one evening at our mountain house with terrible shakes. My wife insisted we go home without any delay. Reaching home I passed out and my son and wife drove me to the emergency at a hospital a few blocks from our home. At the hospital I was given some shots which I later learned were a number of antibiotics. I woke up in the hospital where I stayed seven days, What is so intriguing is that when I woke up in the hospital the doctor told me that I had a blood disease like Jim Hensen who died the previous day. It took me six months to get back to anywhere near my previous health. Since then I have to be very careful about getting any blood infections.

Really? Can you cite a source on that?

You "believe" that, eh?

Can you provide any evidence to support that belief, or did you just invent it?

Hmmmm?

Posting your derogatory personal beliefs about another person may not qualify as "slander" under the laws of these United States, but it definitely qualifies as "bearing false witness" (which thou shalt not do).

I expect such behaviour from CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN/Etc.

FR should be better than that.

Henson was married and had kids. He died from a really nasty lung infection, that reached that state because he left it untreated. It wasn’t just pneumonia; he had something resembling scarlet fever.

Wrong...

Henson did NOT die of HIV.

It is NOT Henson causing the problem but his daughter Lisa - a real Leftard.

Henson was never considerd a Left wing nut job.

Unfortunately, when he died, the powers-to-be decided to implement real leftist-socialist-politically correct BS into their programming.

This is when we lost cookie monster, grouch and a host of others in favor of the androgynous ELMO. This is when Sesame Street lost it.
