David Murphey has died aged 66
David Murphey has passed away after several years of health battles, at the age of 66. He is survived by his two sisters and his cat Gamera, and recently retired from the Clark County Treasurer’s office in Nevada.
He was diagnosed with liver cancer a year ago. His family, who have asked for privacy, are now asking fans to donate to The Animal Foundation in his name, because he loved cats so much.
