   Why does the Toronto firefighter who died at the scene of the propane   
   explosion deserve public admiration or a hero's funeral?   
      
   If we (the society) are not worthy of being told what killed him, then   
   why does he deserve our tributes?   
      
   In all likelyhood, he died because of a pre-existing medical condition,   
   and he was just as likely to die in bed humping his wife that morning.   
   The fact that he's a firefighter means nothing in that context.   
      
   We all will die.  And if we die as a result of being injured while doing   
   something heroic, then fine, give us a parade.   
      
   If not, then shut the hell up.
