Dr. Roy Walford, pioneer in techniques of calorie
restriction for extension of life span, has died in
UCLA-Santa Monica Hospital today of complications of ALS, a
rare muscle-wasting motor-neuron disease with no
well-established modifiable risk factors. Dr. Walford was
two months short of his 80th birthday. Present were Dr.
Walford's daughter Lisa and son Peter, as well as this
author and other friends of the family. Dr. John Braun of
UCLA plans to raise funds for a endowed chair at UCLA in Dr.
Walford's honor. Funeral arrangements have not been
announced, but cremation is planned for the body, with
scattering of ashes at sea.
