Aren't all fearless leaders' deaths in Mormonism untimely?
Not since Joseph Smith, Jr.
And sad is the day when current fearless leader passes into the holy realms above and cannot imbue a thirsty membership with spiritual water any longer, Amen.
Not to worry; there's always another to continue imbuing a thirsty membership with spiritual water in very short order.
Today's fearless leader becomes "a flawed man influenced by the culture of his day who spoke with limited understanding and promoted personal opinion rather than doctrine" the instant he's dead.
