I saw this on another board and I didn't believe it. My first reaction was holy shit, and now, two hours later, I still feel kind of shocked at the news. Everyone in my house (my housemates are not big gossip folk) is talking about it, as are all my friends. It's so sad, and I hope it wasn't an overdose, accidental or intentional, because that would make this whole thing even sadder. My heart goes out to his little girl, especially because I saw a quote of his saying that leaving her to go to work in the morning was the most difficult thing he'd ever done.
Rest in peace
