Thats terrible. In a way I'm glad tho, because he was suffering for a long time. It was sad to see him that way after seeing him in so many movies as a young healthy guy making people laugh. he was a great comedian. RIP Richard Pryor.

Yup, and I personally thought he was in his 70's. I guess that just shows I'm getting up there in age myself.
