No, Doug died several years ago I believe from that
odd form of cancer that several TMers got. I think it
was cancer of the bile duct. Didn't Skip Alexander die
from the same thing?

Liver cancer--not sure about Skip.

Supposedly Jim Karpen got some very serious form of cancer from  
faulty wiring in the frat he was living in.  Fortunately he survived.

If you look to the night sky on a clear night, look for Orion, then 
look for Casseopiea. Between those two you will find a star 
constellation called Auriga (the charioteer). On either the left 
or the right side within that constellation (can't remember you would 
need to look it up), you will see a small group of 3 stars. One of 
those stars is Doug Henning's. The small group of stars is 
called the Magicians

True story.
Serious...not kidding

(but no, he is not on this earth if that is what you mean)

From faulty wiring?? How do you get cancer from
faulty wiring?

I suspect ths is a FF urban myth. Remember that
warning from Vlodrop back in February about
avoiding electromagnetic radiation?

Sure sounds like it. There is an old style of romex wiring that had an
asbestos sheath on the outside, but the asbestos doesn't break free
unless the sheath is physically disturbed. Sitting inside a wall, not
being moved, the asbestos stays put. And, it could very well be that
that wire was no longer in use when the frats were built.

I agree, Judy, it does have a certain voodoo aspect to it :).  But  
when I first heard it it seemed to make some sense.  Supposedly he  
was sleeping on a mattress on the floor, right above some faulty  
wiring, which they then fixed afterwards.  I don't know any more than  
that.  Perhaps Jim will check in here and give his views.
