Dave Freeman, coauthor of 100 Things to Do Before You Die, died Aug. 17 after he fell and hit his head at home, the Los Angeles Times reports. Freeman’s 1999 book, which he cowrote with Neil Teplica, was subtitled “Travel Events You Just Can’t Miss.” It inspired legions of imitators and highlighted experiences such as running with the bulls in Spain and taking a voodoo pilgrimage to Haiti.
Explaining the book’s title to the Times, Teplica said, “You should live every day like it would be your last, and there’s not that many people who do. It’s a credit to Dave—he didn’t have enough days, but he lived them like he should have.”
