Kim Peek, inspiration for "Rain Man", Dead at 58.
:-<
Kim Peek, who died on December 19 aged 58, was the model for the autistic character Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 film Rain Man, starring Dustin Hoffman. Via London Telegraph.
He lived a life which could be called tragic for it's difference. Yet at the same time, a life the rest of us will never know. He saw a different world because of his brain. A world the rest of us can only imagine.
If one so utterly innocent isn't in a better place, then there is no God.
Sorry if this has been posted here before I did search and found nothing.

Oh crap, Kim Peek died? Glad he managed to contribute something that would last (Rain Man) rather than just memorizing shit.
