I was still in shock when I browsed Wikipedia today.

Christopher Reeve, the star of the “Superman” movies whose near-fatal riding accident nine years ago turned him into a worldwide advocate for spinal cord research, died Sunday of heart failure, his publicist said. He was 52.

Reeve fell into a coma Saturday after going into cardiac arrest while at his New York home, his publicist, Wesley Combs, told The Associated Press by phone from Washington, D.C., on Sunday night. [CNN].

He was one of my all-time favorite actors in my childhood when I watched the Superman movies. I was so excited when I saw him as a guest star on the current Superman series, Smallville, and I hoped I would see him more there. He will be missed by everyone, including his fans, including me.

… soar high and touch the sky…
