    The family of George Foreman — the prolific pro boxer, Olympian
    and famed entrepreneur behind the George Foreman Grill — says
    the 76 year-old died Friday, March 21, “surrounded by loved ones.”

    In an Instagram post, the family stated in part: “A humanitarian,
    an Olympian, and two time heavyweight champion of the world,
    He was deeply respected — a force for good, a man of discipline,
    conviction, and a protector of his legacy, fighting tirelessly
    to preserve his good name— for his family.”

    . . .

    Foreman always came across as a Pretty Good Guy - and
    wasn't 'political' like Ali.

    However his real fame was hawking his(?) slant-grill
    design for decades. As such he kept his name and face
    well-recognized.

    Cause of death not mentioned ... but 'black' men esp tend
    to have cardiovascular issues later in life.
