For example, Curtis Mayfield, the talented singer, actor, song writer and behind the scene expert was injured while performing on stage and had the overhead lighting fall on him.  He died about 6 years after his stage accident.  Not from his SCI, but rather his life long condition of diabetes.   Best Wishes           Hello All, Quick question…..Does anyone know the life expectancy of quads?  I know it may vary.  However, I am just curious if there are many 75+ year old quads out there.  Thanks,   Michelle   Fiance’ of a C6/7, 16 years post Scottsdale, AZ
