100 Things To Do Before You Die author Dave Freeman dies

August 28, 2008 12:00am

The man who co-wrote the best-selling travel guide 100 Things To Do Before You Die has died at the age of 47.

Dave Freeman had visited half the places mentioned in his book, whose recommendations included nude night surfing in Australia and running with bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

He died after falling over at his home in Venice, California, and hitting his head.

The advertising agency executive wrote the 1999 book with his friend Neil Teplica after collecting odd locations on a travel website they ran.

The irreverent guide to the world’s wackiest places suggested a voodoo pilgrimage to Haiti and taking part in the loudest yelling competition in North Carolina.

Sadly, I am not above gallows humor.
