"As the result of a coroners inquiry many years after his death it was determined that his widow, Pat White, took her own life."

Could the contributor tell us where s/he found this?

I was not the original contributor but it is subtitled at the end of Episode 11 of "From the Earth to the Moon" of the HBO 1998 Mini Series. The exact wording is "In 1983 a coroner's report determined that Pat White took her own life. She had been organizing a reunion of her astronaut wife friends." I believe it is worthy enough to mention into the main Ed White article.

"Postdlf (removed redundant category) [astronauts]"

Why is that category redundant? The U.S. isn't the only country that has ever had astronauts.

Death

Had he lived, White would certainly have gone on to be Commander of a later Apollo mission and walk on the moon.

hi

Hi I am doing a homwork assigment on Edward White. Can you add more stuff to this site? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makezz1 (talk • contribs) 22:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mission Insignia

The only patch is the Gemini 4 insignia. Ed White was also a member of Apollo 1. Just because he died a few weeks before launch doesn't mean he wasn't a part of the mission.
