US daredevil Evel Knievel dies 
 
Legendary US daredevil Evel Knievel has died at the age of 69, his granddaughter has said.
Knievel had suffered ill-health, including diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis - an incurable lung condition - for several years.

He underwent a liver transplant, after nearly dying of hepatitis C, in 1999.

Knievel gained cult status performing death-defying stunts in the 1960s and 70s, including an attempted motorcycle jump over Snake River Canyon in Idaho

Evil Knievel is planning his most challenging stunt yet. He's going to jump 15 double decker buses.

Apparently the guys driving his hearse aren't best pleased.
