100 Things To Do Before You Die Co-Author ... Dies at 47
Dave Freeman, co-author of 100 Things to Do Before You Die, has died.

He passed away August 17 after hitting his head in a fall at his Venice, Calif., home, his father, Roy Freeman, told the Los Angeles Times on Monday.

He was 47.

Check out Us' photo tribute to stars who have gone too soon.

Freeman co-wrote the popular 1999 book that reminded mortal readers that "this life is a short journey."

Among the things he and Neil Teplica urged readers to do: Attend the Academy Awards; run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain; take a voodoo pilgrimage in Haiti.

Freeman's relatives told the LA Times that he visited about half the places on his list before he died, and either he or Teplica had been to nearly all of them.

1. That's pretty high on the irony scale.
I hope that he'd personally finished his own list!

2. It's strange the way things happen.
He was way too young.

3. Was one of the things on his list dying before he was 50?
But if he only visited about half the places on his list, would he have needed to live to 94 to do everything?

Just how feasible is his list?

6. He probably reckoned he had more time -
just the way all of us do.
