Ed didn't rally for a few days before dying from lack of nourishment as Leonard Nemoy reported. He died on the 28th day from pyelonephritis and infection that apparently led to a brain hemorrhage.

Ed 'Leedokalnin' that is...
28 day stay...
is that a # 16 hand written under his age?
16, 32, 48, 64...
Divided by 4 = 16
What is it about 28 days stay?
No coincidences, or too many coincidences to be coincidence?
Leedskalnin conveyed more true knowledge about various aspects of the moon than anyone in recorded history. It's only fitting that the record of his death span the exact number of days as a lunar cycle. Is there a particular message he was trying to convey here? Trust your instinct either way.
There is no doubt that is a number 16 hand written under his age on the death certificate for no apparent reasaon:
Not a particulary significant coiencidence, but I do find it interesting President Truman landed in Key West the day before Leedskalnin admitted himself into the hospital.

Gardner, you and PKB know I am not particulary found of anything speculative about Leedskalnin and tend to lean toward what is provable, but that's not to say I can't be intrigued...
28 days - It doesn't appear Leedskalnin was comatose during this significant amount of time. Certainly more than ample time for him to arrange his affairs and put the final touches on his grand design. Nemoy reports the $3K found in his living quarters, along with that...extra dimensional map - man if we could only get our hands on that map. However, so many things seem to have been misreported....
