    Appears to have been a death by suicide, with CTE a key factor: https://www.tmz.com/2024/03/20/chris-simon-nhl-family-enforcer-died-suicide-suffered-from-cte/

     

     


  2. Dick Higgins, a Navy radioman and one of the few remaining Pearl Harbor survivors, has died. He was 102. Higgins' amphibious plane was destroyed in the attack.

     

    With Higgins’ death, only 22 veterans of the attack are known to be living, according to Kathleen Farley, the California chapter president with Sons and Daughters of Pearl Harbor Survivors, who has maintained the tally for years.
