AP: Kim Peek, the Murray man who inspired the 1988 movie "Rain Man," died of a sudden heart attack. Peek, 58, was likely the world's most famous savant, enduring mental handicaps while at the same time possessing extraordinary gifts of memory and recall.
"He had a depth and breadth of knowledge and a memory that was just unbelievable," said Daniel Christensen, a professor with the University of Utah's Neuropsychiatric Institute. "He was unique. I don't know if there will ever be another person quite like Kim."
For those of you that don't know who rain man was shame on you..and for you that did you know that movie was and still is a classic...rip
