Death
Aparo died early on July 19, 2005. Some reports attributed the cause of death to "a long battle with cancer", but his family's formal announcement attributed his death to "complications relating to a recent illness". The Associated Press obituary reported only that "Aparo died Tuesday at home after a short illness, said his daughter, Donna Aparo." DC Comics ran an Aparo "In Memoriam" page Batman #644 (Oct. 2005) and Detective Comics #811 (Nov. 2005).

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“When Death to either shall come—
I pray it be first to me.”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isn’t: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?””
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)
“Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war, as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.”
