died 23 years ago today
October 17th, 1930 — April 17th, 2003His high-protein, low-carbohydrate approach to weight loss differed radically from the conventional wisdom of the medical establishment, and was widely criticized as risky.

He died of injuries sustained when he fell and hit his head on the sidewalk.
