Also, apparently another judge at the circuit, Jim Moran, was found dead in 
his hotel room of a massive heart attack in Sarasota on 1/12.  He had been 
complaining earlier in the day of pain in his left arm/shoulder and allegedly 
jokingly said to an exhibitor if he didn't know better he would have thought 
it was a heart attack.  He decided to skip dinner with some other judges 
after the show and instead go to his hotel room and rest. Someone apparently 
went to check on him later and found him dead.

I have no idea if this has been officially confirmed.  These reports I 
believe initially circulated primarily on the showdogs lists from others who 
attended the circuit.
