How Did Christopher Reeve Die

In 2003 and 2004, Reeve fought off a number of serious infections believed to have originated from the bone marrow. He recovered from three that could have been fatal. On October 10, 2004 after suffering cardiac arrest brought on by an infection and falling into a coma, Reeve died of heart failure at 52 years of age. In the week prior to his death, Reeve was being treated at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, New York for a pressure ulcer, a common ailment for paralytics, that had subsequently become seriously infected.
By the time of his death, Reeve had regained partial movement in his fingers and toes as well as feeling throughout his body, claiming he could feel pin pricks anywhere and could again differentiate between hot and cold temperatures.
Even before his death, Reeve's efforts to spread awareness for spinal cord injuries had won him the cultural status of a real life hero, not unlike his cinematic counterpart, Superman. Reeve humbly insisted that there was nothing truly heroic about him or what had happened to him, but that he was merely another human being dealing with an obstacle that life had placed in his path. Nevertheless, fans and admirers have taken to calling him "the real Man of Steel" and "the real Superman." He is survived by his parents, Barbara Lamb and Franklin Reeve, and his three children, Matthew (born 1979), Alexandra (born 1982) and Will (born 1992).
Dana Reeve died of lung cancer on March 6, 2006. She was a non-smoker.

Yes he died about a year ago. I believe that the cause of death was pneumonia. His wife died only a few months later. If I'm not mistaken they left behind two children.

He actually died from pneumonia because of the paralysis. The infection attacked his body and he couldn't fight it. Then within the past 8 months his wife died from cancer.
