Joe Paterno Dies From Lung Cancer

Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno, who was battling lung cancer, died Sunday, his family said. He was 85.

The winningest major college football coach of all time, Paterno was
diagnosed shortly after Penn State's Board of Trustees ousted him Nov. 9
in the aftermath of the child sex abuse charges against former
assistant Jerry Sandusky. Paterno was getting treatment since, and his
health problems were worsened when he broke his pelvis - an injury that
first cropped up when he was accidentally hit in preseason practice last
year.

The final days of Paterno's Penn State career were easily the toughest
in his 61 years with the university and 46 seasons as head football
coach.

Sandusky, a longtime defensive coordinator who was on Paterno's staff in
two national title seasons, was arrested Nov. 5 and ultimately charged
with sexually abusing a total of 10 boys over 15 years. His arrest
sparked outrage not just locally but across the nation and there were
widespread calls for Paterno to quit.
