Cause of Death

They still don't know the cause of Arafat's death. To be honest, judging from the press reports, Yasser Arafat's last weeks closely parallelled those of my grandfather, which is one reason I jumped in so early in talking about Arafat's last days. In our case, there was no single cause of death. Sometimes things just stop working the way they should, which affects other things. Why does my car need repairs more frequently now than it did five years ago?
