Default Famed Attorney Johnny Cochran Dies

Wow, I was pretty surprised by this. It still hasn't said what he died of though.

No, I don't think so. From what I have been reading, it was either a heart attack or sickle cell anemia.

Edit: LOS ANGELES — Defense attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr., who famously defended football star O.J. Simpson, has died at 67 in his home in Los Angeles, a law firm partner confirmed

Cochran died of a brain tumor at his home in Los Angeles, his family said.

The flashy yet venerable attorney's health started to falter last year, according to media reports. Following his surgery in April 2004, Cochran began to avoid the limelight after having welcomed it for so many years.

In an interview with the New York Post last September, he said, "I'm feeling pretty good" and described himself as "90 percent" improved. Rather than a tumor, he called his ailment a neurological condition requiring a procedure.
