    I was saddened to read that he has died. I remember him from the excellent documentary 'Southern Comfort,' which I've seen many times.

    Does anyone know if his marriage was to Cori? The male-to-female he was dating in 'Southern Comfort.' I haven't been able to find out too much information about what happened to her.

    At the time of his death, he had recently split up with his boyfriend. His degree was a PsyD in psychology, which emphasizes the counseling aspect moreso than the research aspect.

    He died of a glioma, which is a specific type of fast-growing brain tumor.

    Southern Comforted is still being worked on, luckily it was a team effort, so it is likely to be finished.
