LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harry Usher, Peter Ueberroth's right-hand man in organizing the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, died Thursday of an apparent heart attack. He was 61.
Usher was found dead at 7:25 a.m. in a workout room in a Secaucus, N.J., hotel. The Los Angeles resident had been commuting to New Jersey, where he ran an Internet sports company.
Usher was an attorney whose career ranged far from the practice of entertainment law, his specialty.
