So, in the end, one of his stunts DID kill him, just sort of offhandedly. Hep C from a transfusion. Which sucks..

Definitely an icon of the 1970's.

'Hasn't hit the news.

Are you sure that this isn't a fake story put out by a pissed off Kanye West fan?


Edit: Nevermind. The evelknievel.com site agrees.

The closest guy to my childhood hero I ever had.
