As I understand it he was mountain biking, wearing a helmet and took a tumble. Bad luck.

I picked up his book about 12 months ago and started reading it
it's stacked under 3 other books I've started but haven't finished. As a mark of respect I will finish reading his book this month.

A lot of it is common sense, just put in one place and explained in clear terms.
His admonition to daily "sharpen your saw" (make sure the tools you need to work are fit for the job) is something I think about from time to time.

Aha: this is why Franklin Covey
basically spammed the internet this morning. Or maybe I'm just tremendously lucky to already be on their mailing lists.
I have nothing against the chap, but I don't need an email saying how amazing he was. I've been more inspired by what I learned here, that he was a 79-year-old cyclist, than by what I've heard all day.
(Did I just call b3ta inspirational? Oh, dear.)
