Hunter S. Thompson, 65, Author, Commits Suicide
By MICHELLE O'DONNELL

Published: February 21, 2005

Hunter S. Thompson, the maverick journalist and author whose savage
chronicling of the underbelly of American life and politics embodied a new
kind of nonfiction writing he called "gonzo journalism," died yesterday in
Colorado. Tricia Louthis, of the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office, said Mr.
Thompson had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Woody
Creek, Colo., yesterday afternoon. He was 65.

I'm saddened to hear of the loss of Dr. Hunter S. Thomson. He had a 
distinctly different take on life and was able to express it well. I guess 
it finally "got too weird" for him.
