Not sure where to put this, really.

September 28, 2004 - In Memory
Psychiatrist and Author John E. Mack, M.D.,
Hit By Car and Killed in London, September 27, 2004.

John Edward Mack, M. D.,
October 4, 1929, to September 27, 2004.

John Edward Mack, M.D., was Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Cambridge Hospital, as well as Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer for his work on Lawrence of Arabia. Yesterday afternoon in London, he spoke before the T. E. Lawrence Society Symposium, in Oxford, England. According to Will Bueche, Communications Director for the John Mack Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Dr. Mack's presentation was so well-received that he was asked to do a second presentation yesterday evening. Afterward, he went with colleagues to dinner. He had called the family with whom he was staying after 10 p.m. to say he would arrive at their home around 11 p.m., London time. At 1 a.m., the London police confirmed that John Edward Mack, M. D., had been pronounced dead on a street near the Symposium's location, killed by a motor vehicle.

Dr. Mack has been a leading authority on the spiritual or transformational affects of alleged non-human entity encounter experiences (Abduction - Human Encounters with Aliens © 1994). Dr. Mack received his medical degree from the Harvard Medical School (Cum Laude, 1955) after undergraduate study at Oberlin (Phi Beta Kappa, 1951). He is a graduate of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, was Board certified in child and adult psychoanalysis and Director of the John Mack Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts. His family will release a statement at www.johnmackinstitute.org.


He was a unique investigator, however loony you might have found his results.

Well he's hardly the first ufologist to die in mysterious circumstances: check out this article (which was written before the death of Bill Cooper in 2001)

Yeah, and Jim Keith, too.

That's sad... I liked Mack's stuff, even through my cynicism.

Mysterious circumstances? Pardon? He was hit by a drunk driver, which sadly isn't uberuncommon in this country. Or are you planning to spread the rumour that the Men in Black got the guy pissed and aimed him at Mack because Mack 'knew too much'?
