Prolific Gay Neurologist, Oliver Sacks Dies
Quote:
Acclaimed author and neurologist Oliver Sacks, who wrote about his battle with cancer, died early Sunday, his longtime collaborator, Kate Edgar, confirmed. He was 82.
Edgar said Sacks died at his home in Greenwich Village with her and his partner, Bill Hayes, at his side.
Sacks was diagnosed with ocular melanoma nine years ago, and treating the cancer left him blind in one eye, he wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times.
But the cancer spread.
