EVEL KNIEVEL DIES November 30, 2007
"Motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel, whose stunts made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday at the age of 69.
Knievel's death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.
Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills.
The motorcylist was in the news recently after settling a lawsuit against Kayne West. Knievel sued the rapper last year over use of his trademarked image in a popular West music video."
