A spokesman for Mr. McGovern's family, Steve Hildebrand, told The Associated Press by telephone that Mr. McGovern died peacefully at 5:15 a.m. Sunday at a hospice in Sioux Falls, surrounded by family and lifelong friends. The family had said in a statement late last year that Mr. McGovern had become unresponsive while under hospice care.
