He was hospitalized with Covid in December so that's probably related, but I didn't see a cause of death.
I feel partially responsible. I used to listen to him in the 80s late at night and I noticed he'd be a little out of it towards the end of his show. He wouldn't hear or understand what some of the callers were saying, or he couldn't form a good response. Then he had a heart attack and stopped doing late night radio. Decades later he said that he wasn't feeling up to it in the late night hours. If I had written to him and told him he sounded out of it, maybe he would have cut back his hours earlier. Maybe the station would have made him.
Anyway, I once called in and asked Isaac Asimov when we'll be able to see to the edge of the universe. He said something about seeing the past when you look far away. He never answered my question. I still want to know. I don't care about seeing 99.999whatever percent of the way back when there's still a gazillion miles left. I'm talking about the theoretical maximum.
