Matt Simmons dies of heart attack
Matt Simmons, founder and former head of Simmons & Co. International, died on Aug. 8 at his home in Maine of an apparent heart attack.
Simmons earned the respect of his peers with his successful energy investment bank, as well as a name for himself with his fearless and brazen predictions on the future of energy. His 2006 book “Twilight In The Desert” brought the term “peak oil” into the mainstream and ruffled more than a few feathers at home and abroad.
“As a pivotal figure in the lives of many of our employees, and countless others across the energy industry, Matt will be sorely missed,” said Michael Frazier, Simmons & Co. chairman, president and chief executive officer.
Simmons recently parted ways with his old company to pursue his new venture, the Ocean Energy Institute.

Maybe he should have gone slower recently and taken better care of himself. Instead he kept up the pressure to get the PO word out. Too much stress and excitement I would bet, keeping himself in the public eye saying all sorts of stuff. This is a lesson to us all tto keep our eyes on the basics of daily life and not to get too carried away by “End of The world” talk.
