HIV
editIs it worth noting that he was HIV positive? I'm looking around for a reliable source. --138.16.60.106 03:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
The article mentions he was HIV positive but did not have AIDS at the time of his death. This is one of those cases of inconsistent, unreliable media terms; "HIV positive", "AIDS", "full blown AIDS". Even though most people tend to believe they are terms that indicate how sick a patient is they are medically meaningless. HIV damages the body but how sick a patient is, and how much he suffers, or what he dies of, is dependent on the opportunistic disease(s) he catches because of the damage HIV does to the immune system.
Cause of death?
editRobert Reed DID NOT die simply from AIDS. He also had colon cancer, and BOTH were factors of his death, however various cancers present as HIV progresses into AIDS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olsentwinluv4ever (talk • contribs) 20:49, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Daughter's name?
editIMDB has her listed as Caroline Reed but it is referenced in the section about his funeral as Karen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.131.149.71 (talk) 21:57, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm wondering the same thing. In Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady)'s book, she wrote Caroline on one page, and Carolyn on the next. But in a documentary, Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady) said Karen. I'm pretty sure it's Karen, but I don't really know for sure. Olsentwinluv4ever (talk) 20:47, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
