I split off the fake tweets tangent.
Next time, please do some minimal due diligence, like looking at the actual account.

RIP Iwata. I burned some incense in your honor when I learned of your death. :(
I kind of have mixed feelings about the whole thing. Of course it's a tragedy that he's dead, but with him no longer being the president, maybe Nintendo will actually try to compete with Sony and Microsoft again.

Not a celebrity in the traditional sense of the word, but in his own right as a Vocaloid producer, starting at 14. Whatever the cause of death, it's heartbreaking especially if dead at 20 and so much to live for.

Brought people back, just briefly. Bl
British neurologist Oliver Sacks dies at 82.
He was the Doctor in the film (and book) Awkenings starring Robin Williams, which is his account of dealing with comatose patients (50 years onward) who were caught in a 1920s outbreak of Encephalitis lethargica.

Wes Craven, at 76, has just passed away from brain cancer. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/wes-craven-horror-maestro-dies-818806
This is very sad news indeed. A Nightmare on Elm Street was one of the films that hooked me into the horror genre as a teenager, and to this day remains one of my favorites. I met and got an autograph from him at a convention in Los Angeles several years ago, and that was the most exciting moment of the entire weekend, aside from getting beat up by Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi.
RIP.

I can't say I've ever really been a fan of Wes Craven, but the dude was hugely influential and was very talented. He did a lot of really great work in the horror genre even if it doesn't really appeal to me. A great director and someone who will definitely be missed.
