I just found this blog post from the author's ex-wife, Ohio resident Lynne Logan:<br /><br />http://tenaciousbitch.com/2015/05/25/post-150-about-the-life-and-death-of-james-thompson/<br /><br />In it, she writes about the accident that evidently took Thompson's life in Finland:<br /><br />"Unfortunately, Jim had suffered with severe migraines for years, and the medication he was taking made him drowsy, and it can also cause dizziness. The night he died, he took a walk after dinner by a lake near his house, which he’d done many times before. From what I understand, he lost his balance on the pier bordering the lake, and he drown.<br /><br />"He also had a head injury, so he either struck his head on the pier as he fell or he might’ve hit a rock or something in the water. They’re not really sure. However, he had always been a strong swimmer, so he had to have been unconscious, or he’d still be with us today."<br /><br />If anyone else reading this comment thread has more information, I hope you will share it with the rest of us.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JeffJ.
