"or a 66 year old man suffering from cataracts"
Cataracts are treated via the surgical removal of the crystallin lens. An artifical lens is then inserted in its place. There is no such thing as a 'lens transplant.' The only part of the eye used for transplant is the cornea. I have removed this reference. 137.197.67.31 15:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction: His body (did, didn't) leave California
In the Death section, the article reads "With his mother's permission, Hexum was flown to Las Vegas and taken off life support so that his organs could be donated.", but in the Info section, the article reads "His body never left California. jt" which was seemingly signed by someone named jt (I deleted the letters jt from the article). --nertzy 03:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- I think there is a misunderstanding about his body being flown to Las Vegas. In a report following his death, they said he was flown to San Francisco, not Las Vegas. The man who needed a heart transplant was from Las Vegas, but the way I understood it, the transplantation was done in San Francisco. I cannot state the exact source of this fact, but I think that's what the other person meant with: his body never left california.

[edit] Birth Date
It's true that his death certificate shows a different birth date than the date you usually read on various websites (including imdb), but that date IS wrong: http://boles.com/called/hexum4.jpg
I wrote an email to Jon-Erik Hexum's brother Gunnar Hexum and he replied:
You are right, his birthday is November 5, 1957
I think that should be proof enough!
So I'd stick to November for the article.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hexum.jpg
Image:Hexum.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Birth Name
Since there was some confusion regarding his birth name: Jon-Erik Hexum was generally called Jack during High School. His real name was Jon-Erik (according to his birth records it was Jon Eric), he didn't "invent" that name for his acting career. His real name definitely was not just "Jack." The Jon-Erik Hexum fanclub states this fact in his biography. Thanks.
