Jan Michel Vincent is dead at 74.  He actually died in February of a heart attack, but the news is just being released.  He had already lost a leg in 2012 due to a systemic infection.  Decades of hard livin' had doubtless put a strain on his body.

Fair skies, Airwolf.

Talk about hard living taking a toll on you. That guy is the poster boy.

I never would have taken 74 in a competition.  44 maybe.  He looked horrible within a couple of years of his glory days.

To be fair, he has been dead for a long time...

...it is pretty amazing how much abuse a body can take.
