The Associated Press reported that '60's LSD proselyte, Timothy Leary died in his sleep 

foot in the other world. Until yesterday, he was moving around in an electric wheelchair, but he was getting weaker. After his passing, Leary's homepage on the World Wide Web said simply: "Timothy has passed." It also said his last words were three "why not's" and one "yeah." Leary himself, had reported that he was taking morphine to ease the pain for months. It is well know that Leary had always been into drugs -- any drugs, all drugs, both prescription and recreational. An Intensive Care Nurse read the internet reports of his death. It said his last words were "why not", "why not", "why not" in several different tones , and his final word was "yeah.' "I've seen a lot of people die with cancer," the ICU nurse said. (For obvious reasons she does not want to be identified.) "It's very painful to die that way. From all report's Leary's death must have been a mophine assisted death. "The final script probably went like this: ' Timothy do you want a shot of morphine to ease your pain?' " And he answered, 'Why not?' " A little while later whoever was administering the morphine checked on him, asking him, 'Would you like a little more morphine?' "And he answered, 'Why not?' "After an interval, the morphine admistrator asked, 'How about some more morphine?' "And Leary answered, 'Why not?' "After that they asked, "I'll bet you're feeling no pain now?' "And, just before the morphine paralyzed his cardio-pulminary system, he replied, "Yeah." So Timothy Leary finally fulfilled the prophecy in the Moody Blues tune,"Legend of a Mind." At least he fulfilled the first phrase: "Timothy Leary's dead.... Oh, no no no, no no no nooo, he's on the outside looking in..." More on that later. A couple of millionaire movie producers who put up thousands of dollars for Timothy Leary's escape are sad and disappointed.
