[edit] Death
Does anyone know why he died? Complications? Another stroke? Something else? Nil Einne 14:57, 15 September 2006 (UTC) He died of heart failure.
[edit] Comment
This is totally like the character Noirtier de Villefort in the Count of Monte Cristo ~ Infrangible 02:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discrepancy
We give his death as being on March 9, with the publication of the book as March 6, but we also say he died ten days after publication of the book. Do we mean "three days", or is one of the dates incorrect? Metamagician3000 (talk) 22:19, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Jean-Dominique Babuy's death was on March 9 according to randomhouse.com and amazon.com, stating that he passed away two days after the French pulication of the book. A few other sources said he passed away three days after. I can't find the date the book was first published, so i've taken the liberty to change it to "two days" (which seems to be the more common period) -Senaiboy (talk) 23:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
In the movie, they say Bauby died of pneumonia. I guess that could cause heart failure, so perhaps that's not too inaccurate.
[edit] Euthanasia?
The date of death is too much to be a coinsidence. I suppose he asked to be put to eternal sleep after seeing his book published, which was silently honored to him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.152.107.177 (talk) 22:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
