Big coal CEO Bob Murry dies after filing for black lung bernefits.

[Hotler]

Bob Murray, the board chairman of Murray Energy, the largest privately owned — and bankrupt — US coal operator, died on Sunday at age 80. He had announced his retirement less than a week before.

Although no cause of death was officially given, Murray filed for black lung benefits — which he spent most of his career fighting — on October 1, as Electrek reported. In the black lung claim, Murray stated he was heavily dependent on oxygen and was “near death,” Associated Press reported.

Recently.

10. Good riddance to bad trash.

If anyone deserved to die from black lung, it was him. Poetic justice.

11. How ironic. I'm sure Mr Peabody will be welcoming

him at the not-so-pearly gates. Their coal background should help keep those furnaces stoked.

12. God bless him!

13. Did he actually work in the mines? Is that why he had black lung?

Or was he an unrepentant cigarette smoker (and trust me, I have ZERO sympathy for smokers) who decided to pretend his self-inflicted disease was black lung?

16. Apparently he did. Although I am sure it was a while ago that he worked in the mines.

"Murray was born on January 13, 1940, in Martins Ferry, Ohio.[3] claimed to have lied about his age so he could work in a coal mine at the age of 16 and provide for his family.[4] He alleged he experienced multiple mining accidents including a head injury involving a large beam.[4] Murray said he has one scar running from his head down his back from a separate accident and at one time was trapped in a dark mine for 12 hours before being rescued.
