Author Michael Crichton Dies

Micheal Crichton

Jurrasic Park writer Michael Crichton has passed away at the age of 66.

The author, who also created ER, passed away after a “courageous and private battle against cancer,” his rep said.

“While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us — and entertained us all while doing so — his wife Sherri, daughter Taylor, family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes,” his publicist said in a statement. ”He did this with a wry sense of humor that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget.”

I am so sad. I am a great fan of his books and production. No more Micheal Crichton.
