ATLANTA (CNN) - John DeLorean, who developed the futuristic-looking
sportscar that captured the country's attention during the early 1980s but
ultimately proved to be a marketing failure, has died. He was 80.
DeLorean's death was confirmed by Tom Domlovil, a funeral director at A.J.
Desmond & Sons, in Troy Mich.
Paul Connell, an owner of Desmond and Sons, said the Royal Oak, Mich.,
office is handling the arrangements. Connell said DeLorean died Saturday at
the Overlook Hospital in Summit, N.J., from complications from a stroke.
A spokeswoman for the hospital would not confirm the death.
