Subject: DD's dad died

I came across this on the AP wire. Thought I would post it here. Apparently, although he died a couple of weeks ago, the family just recently released the news to the media. I don't know what he was doing in Paris; if he lived there or just happened to be visiting there at the time of his death.

PARIS (AP) — Amram Ducovny, an author and father of ’The X-Files’ star David Duchovny, died Aug. 23, his daughter said Tuesday. He was 75.
Ducovny, who published a lauded first novel at age 73, died in Paris of heart disease, said Laurie Duchovny.
Ducovny grew up in the Coney Island area of New York City but adopted Paris as his home about 10 years ago.
His novel ‘‘Coney’’ was a semi-autobiographical account of adolescent Harry’s lurid adventures among Coney Island misfits on the eve of World War II.
His New York agent, Andrew Blauner, said Ducovny finished a sequel to ’Coney,’ called ’A Lifetime is Once,’ but didn’t know if the manuscript would be published.
Ducovny also wrote 10 nonfiction books, including ‘‘David Ben-Gurion: In His Own Words’’ and ‘‘How to Shoot a Jewish Western.’’ A play, ‘‘The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald,’’ ran for a short time off Broadway in 1967 and was adapted for a television movie.
