2000 – Steve enters Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, CA for extensive testing on his stomach cramps. Steve had originally thought his cramps could be due to a reoccurrence of a stomach ulcer he experienced years ago so he initially delayed seeing a physician. As many know, the stomach cramps were due to something much more serious.
Just prior to Steve entering the hospital that April, biographer Chris LeClaire was contacted to fix the numerous errors and inaccuracies Steve had flagged to LeClaire’s biography on Reeves, “Worlds to Conquer”, First Edition. Steve insisted those changes needed to be made before his final approval and authorization were granted. LeClaire REFUSED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES, and never made any attempt to obtain Steve’s comments. Reeves subsequently WITHHELD FINAL AUTHORIZATION.
The author boldly issued a much revised Second Edition in 2017, still FALSELY CLAIMING full authorization by Reeves, despite his death almost 17 years before its publication.
