RIP Edmund Hillary

NZ, I just wanted to give you and all your countrymen my condolences at the loss of a great man.  I think he embodied that adventurous spirit that you Kiwis seem to hold dear.

Thanks mate, just heard of this through your post, been TV/Radio/paper free today. Sure is a great loss. He achieved so much and helped hundreds with his Himalaya Trust raised which raised about US$300,000 USD a year. He personally helped build schools, hospitals, bridges, pipelines and even an airfield. How did he die? Natural causes?

No cause of death had been released.
