Another author has died, this time Michael Crichton

Family: Michael Crichton Dies of Cancer: Novelist Michael Crichton, author of 'Jurassic Park,' 'Timeline,' dies of cancer at 66

A doctor with a medical degree from Harvard, he also gave us 'ER' which has been running since 1994 and is just now in its last year. And then there's The Andromeda Strain, a medical thriller, and Congo, which in some ways parallels HP Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness. For more on Crichton, check out his Wikipedia entry.
