how did michael thurmond die
EDITED TO ADD: I just Googled, and found a thread about this on the QVC forum that had a link to an article about this in the Chino Valley Review from June 26. Apparently, Michael was in an auto accident (his car flipped over) and must have been walking to try to get help when he passed away. It sounds like he and his two dogs walked for 3 miles before he died. He was found when authorities traced the signal on his cell phone.
