Ric Ocasek's family release statement

And we have a possible - and completely unofficial - cause of death. Apparently he had recently had surgery, though it was not disclosed as to what type. If it was any major sort of surgery, it is quite possible that he threw a clot and had a stroke. As he was 75, very possible.

The family statement was quite nice.

One thing that I meant to mention, The Cars were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, the last time that they performed together.
