Note: slight spoiler to Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, though I assume nearly everyone reading this has either read it or knows about this aspect of the series.<BR>

After reading the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck TPB, the deaths of Scrooge's parents led me to wonder how has death been portrayed in other Disney comic stories. Being Disney comics, I assume it hasn't/can't show up in the form of murder or anything gruesome like that (perhaps some very early 30's Gottfredson strips?), but I wonder if death has ever had an element in Disney stories in the form of illness, natural causes, etc. I couldn't really think of any examples beyond LO$, so perhaps some of you will.<BR>
