Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden is dead at 52.

Rest in piece Cornell. I'm going to go play Black Hole Sun and Spoonman on a loop for a few hours to try and make the pain go away.

Shocked to hear. Icons back in those college days of 90s rock growing older, dying slowly. :facepalm:

My brain's looping Black Hole Sun.

And more details have been released, apparently it was a suicide by hanging of all things.

Roger Ailes, executive television producer for Nixon, founder of Fox News, serial sexual harasser.

Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

The officials called it hanging, but then his relatives and friends say he had a problem with Ativan, a strictly-controlled drug designed to cut down anxiety but had side effects. In any case it's a terrible loss, since the band just reunited.

EDIT:

* Zack Snyder's daughter died
* Roger Moore, 89

Roger Moore. What a life lived to the fullest. The Saint, Bond, UNICEF, being knighted, etc. Plus, by all accounts I've read, a cool, witty guy who was one of the only Bond actors to truly be grateful for being James Bond, even years after the fact.

Brb, firing up Carly Simon.

^ Such a shame to hear he's gone, he's the first Bond to die, and he was in some of my favorite Bond films (Octopussy and The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker), and whe was quite wonderful as Bond, ties with Connery IMHO as Best Bond.

He will be missed

This is very sad news, but at least he lived a full life. May he rest in peace.

Batman '66, Grey Ghost (Batman TAS), Mayor Adam West (Family Guy), Catman (Fairly Oddparents0, The Mayor Of Gotham (The Batman), and too many more to count.

Not my favorite Batman, but hey, OG Batman.

RIP.

Hank Deutschendorf. One of the two babies who played Sigourney Weaver's baby from Ghostbusters 2 dies at 28. A suicide after a lifelong battle with mental illness.

Tragic. Just tragic. He had over half his life ahead of him.
