Guest EXPAT Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Davy Jones of The Monkees fame died in Florida this morning of a heart attack. I remember his music and more importantly his appearance on "The Brady Bunch". http://www.billboard.com/news/monkees-singer-davy-jones-dead-at-66-1006315352.story#/news/monkees-singer-davy-jones-dead-at-66-1006315352.story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FourAces Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I just read that he was a health nut. Ran several miles a day, and was a strict vegetarian. Also its now being reported that the night prior to his death he went to the hospital with chest pains. If I recall properly Maurice Gibbs had gone to the hospital with chest pains in FL as well and they botched things up. In fact I believe they were sued and the hospital paid a large settlement. And I thought health care in Las Vegas was poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
