David Cassidy, pop culture idol of the 1970s, has died as a result of complications from dementia. The musician and actor was 67
I believe his father and mother died the same way.
I heard on the news that both his mother and his uncle had it. But I swear that at one time I heard is father, Jack Cassidy also had it. Sounds like the early-onset dementia, which I understand IS usually hereditary. So sad. RIP David!
