[edit] Head injury

I don't have time, but someone might want to add something about his fall after the bowl game. It sounds like a serious injury.

[edit] Atheist

Oh, really? The only evidence that the contributor of this "fact" has to offer is a listing in the somewhat dubious Celebrity Atheist List, using a single-sentence quote from Fast Food Nation, a sensationalizing book that isn't even a biography of J.R. Simplot. Unless evidence can be produced that Simplot actually believed there wasn't a deity, at best we can say that his religious beliefs were agnosticism or "unknown". This smacks of intellectual dishonesty, at the least. —Quicksilver^{T @} 15:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

This obit suggests he was an atheist.--droptone (talk) 12:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 'Natural causes' is not a cause of death

It's just a meaningless phrase, except that he wasn't murdered etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.193.144.79 (talk) 09:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
