The writer of JAWS, passed on today at the age of 65.
Peter Benchley's widow has reported that he died of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
This disease can be caused by pollutants, but it is also associated with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma.
I am sorry about his passing. His book gave plenty of folks a summer thriller that is unforgettable.
