Oh god, Hunter S. Thompson killed himself.
By the length of the story, it's clear they've had his obit ready for years.
I never really liked his stuff (I found Fear and Loathing absolutely incomprehensible and heard nightmare stories about his nephew having to piece together his columns at the Examiner) but I appreciated the fact that there was someone out there doing what he did.
It's a sad day.
Edit: Here's a better story about his life: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/02/21/MNGHUBERJ31.DTL
