		Larson is survived by his parents, Allan and Nanette Larson of New Mexico, and his sister, Julie McCollum of Los Angeles.

		The cause of the chest pain, and Jonathan's death, turned out to be an aortic dissection, a tear in the large artery near the heart.
		Only after his death did Jonathan's family and friends learn that his tall, lanky frame, indented chest bone, flat feet, long fingers and toes, and flexible joints should have led doctors to a possible Marfan syndrome diagnosis, which would have indicated a need for additional testing and immediate surgery.
		Jonathan Larson was only 35 when he died.

	Jonathan Larson question
		I think i read somewhere that the show was too big of a play to put on broadway since Jonathan Larson was unknown and the risk was too great.
		I find myself asking if either of Larson's other two productions would be the way they are if he had survived to see them succeed (or in TTB's case, at least run, but in my definition of the word, it succeeded as well), but that opens up a whole other issue.
		Before anyone knew who Jonathan Larson was, and I think if anyone were to try and at least base a production on Superbia, maybe not exactly how Jonathan envisioned it, but in some way like it, it would probably float better simply because it has the Larson name on it.

	Rent Turns 10: Jonathan Larson's beloved rock musical celebrates its first decade on Broadway. Feature on ...
		Though Larson was aware of the excited buzz surrounding his East Village update of the immortal opera La Bohème, he didn't live to read the largely ecstatic reviews of the show or to see it transfer almost immediately to Broadway's Nederlander Theatre, where it is still running 10 years later.
		The company still has "peasant feasts," a tradition that Jonathan started years ago; he would get together with his friends once a year, and it was sort of his answer to your typical Thanksgiving dinner.
		TIM: Jonathan's world was very full, and so many of the people he knew are there at the peasant feasts saying, "This was our friend; this is who he was." It's unfortunate that Jonathan wasn't here for the long term.

		In the middle of the night, without the emergency surgery that could easily have saved his life, Jonathan died alone in his New York City apartment.
		The goal is to educate emergency room personnel about the risk factors for aortic dissection and how to correctly recognize, diagnose and treat a dissection.
