It's confirmed… I’ve been trying to confirm this all weekend as I heard it on Friday from a member on IA. Below is a nice tribute from e from Ilene L. Dillon who hosted a radio show that Pete appeared on many times.
I knew Pete all the way back to our college day at SUNY Brockport and training at the Rochester, New York YMCA where he trained regularly with Dr. Greg Tefft, D.C. to our days in the early 80’s at Gold’s Venice and recently working with him for some articles in Iron Man. Pete had a great sense of humor and his words always brought hope and inspiration.
I will surely miss this great friend.
Thanks to Teagan Clive for finding this. Teagan found the confirmation here

Jan 12th, 2009 by Ilene
Today is January 12, 2009, the birthday of my sister, Keriac, who would have turned 68 today if she had lived past 2005. And today is the day I learned that another dear person, the most recognized and advertised hypnotherapist in the world, Peter C. Siegel, R.H., was recently found dead in his home. Pete Siegel, irrepressible, enthusiastic, inspirational and warm-hearted Pete Siegel, is no more. I miss him.
Pete has appeared on Full Power Living more than any other guest. He was forever sending me e-mails with the outline of a new approach, a new angle, a new idea, asking me to "pick one of these" and schedule him for a show. We talked about luck, The Formula (for designing your own life), re-defining happiness and the secret to having a great day!
Pete and I also talked off-air, sharing some of our family background, the things we have learned, and encouraging each other's efforts to make a living AND make20a difference in this world. He spouted book titles, drawn from his brain after he'd listened to a story I told, encouraging me to write the book. He chastised me for thinking "too small" for the talents he believed I had. When his mother died this past Summer, Pete called to talk. I had planned to meet him in person at the beginning of my trip to the South Pacific in September, but on the day we had scheduled, I learned of the death of another long-time friend, and thought it best not to drive in Los Angeles traffic in my half-attentive state, so I cancelled. He told me he missed being able to give me a Pete Siegel hug. Now, I will miss it forever.
Pete Siegel coached athletes, athletic teams, Olympians and CEO's to Peak Performance. He interviewed to host his own show on Court Television, worked with Jacquie Jordan as a "Guestpert," wrote and did his own PR to get on radio and television programs to promote his work–work which was, after all, designed to help people be their very best in this world. He was disappointed during the Olympics, when the three athletes he coached did not win gold (as they had expected), mostly because of injury. His disappointment was short-lived, as he moved on to the next project to hold up the world. I called him "irrepressible."
Pete Siegel, I never met you in person, yet I know your heart and Soul. This world is better because you were here; and many, many of us miss you sorely now that you are no longer here. Pete Siegel, thanks for the great legacy you have left me with, the challenge of your voice in my ear encouraging me to believe in myself and let the whole world know what I came to share!
Pete’s website is still up but for how long we don’t know… check out his list of athletes.
