"Five-time Nebula winner Greg Bear died November 19, a week after heart surgery
from which he never awoke. A CT scan showed stroke damage was caused to many
parts of the brain by clots that had been hiding in a false lumen of the
anterior artery to the brain ever since an earlier surgery eight years ago.
After a review of the possible outcomes by the medical team, and following the
wishes expressed in his advance directive, Bear was taken off life support and
died two hours later.
The author of over 50 books, Bear’s novels won Nebulas for
Moving Mars (1995)
and
Darwin’s Radio. Three other works of short fiction won Nebulas, and two
of those – “Blood Music” (1984) and “Tangents” (1987) — also won the Hugo.
Bear’s writing was very successful in translation, too. He twice won Japan’s
Seiun Award, as well as the Ignotus Award (Spain), and Prix Apollo (France).
Altogether his works have been translated into 19 languages."
