The New York Times > Books > Hunter S. Thompson, 67, Author, Commits Suicide
Not that I was a big fan of his work (I did read some of his recent sports articles), but I am saddened by the self-stilling of the voice of "gonzo" journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
Iconoclastic, brash, and an individual, while I didn't share his beliefs, I respect them.
If there is an afterlife, they don't know what is about to hit them when Hunter shows up. Bon voyage to a true original.
