SAM Simon, who was one of the major creative forces behind The Simpsons and who left the show after its fourth season in a lucrative arrangement that allowed him to spend much of the rest of his life giving his money away, died on Sunday at his home in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. He was 59.
His death was confirmed by his agent, Andy Patman. Simon learned a few years ago that he had colon cancer.
