On the recent death of prominent Israeli biblical archaeologist Ehud Netzer—
Matti Friedman, AP story at Yahoo News —
"Netzer was speaking with colleagues at the site on Sunday when a wooden safety railing broke and he fell several yards, suffering critical injuries, according to David Amit, a senior archaeologist at the Israel Antiquities Authority. He was rushed to a hospital but did not recover, and died Thursday."
Google Translate version of a ynet.co.il report in Hebrew —
"On Monday, after a staff meeting Excavators Herodion, sat Professor Netzer on what is called a steel pipe … Theatre Royal cabin Herodium. Witnesses said that the mood was very cheerful – until suddenly broke a few screws and railing, archaeologist fell backwards on my back and hurt himself in the head. Then fell again, and hurt the neck vertebrae."
Hillel Fendel at IsraelNationalNews.com —
"Prof. Netzer slipped and fell on Tuesday, sustaining severe injuries."
So, according to Jewish legend-in-the-making, this biblical fall may have occurred on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. There seems to be agreement at least that the resulting death occurred on Thursday.
