Erik Abild Soerensen, one of the 12 cartoonists that back in 2005 contributed to Jyllands-Postens cartoons of the prophet Muhammed has died at the age of 89.

As a consequence of the death threats against the cartoonists Danish police showed up at Mr. Soerensen’s apartment in Aarhus offering security instructions. Soerensen replied:

”I have passed the age of 85, I am sick and I have just lost my wife. Can it get worse? I don’t think so.”
