Kentaro Miura, manga-ka of Berserk, is dead.
Somehow I knew this would happen, given his health and all. Just so tragic. Berserk was one of my first favorites, and he was an amazing artist and fantasy storyteller. Rest in peace.

Am I having a bad dream?

Just heard this.......wow.

 

[Prism]

No way…I’ve got no words.

 

[looneymoon]

Noooooooooooo

 

[Odysseus]

This is the first time I've genuinely cried in a long time. He was an all time great, one of the greatest mangaka of our generation. My heart goes out to his friends and family, the world is a darker place without him.

F. Lee Bailey, attorney, at age 87.

Bailey is best known for his role on the "Dream Team" of lawyers who defended disgraced NFL star OJ Simpson in the famous murder trial. That team also included Robert Shapiro, the late Johnnie Cochran, and the late Robert Kardashian (yes, the patriarch of THAT Kardashian family).

Bailey's most notable role in the trial was the cross examination of LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman, which is believed to be a factor in the verdict.

Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts dies at age 80

 

[Nanaki Skywalker]

Given the well-documented drug culture within that band, I'm actually surprised that most of the Rolling Stones (minus 27 Club member Brian Jones) managed to live this long (especially Keith, but then again, Keith has been cheating death literally his entire life).

I’m devastated by the death of Canadian comedian Norm Macdonald, 61

Norm often used his comedy to push people and make them uncomfortable, often drawing ire for his political incorrectness. He played devil’s advocate on shows like the View as a way to expose hypocrisy, and better yet - to set someone else up to express his actual opinion. Impossibly clever, funny, and kind, the world is missing one hell of a guy.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Holy shit, what a tragedy. That's so depressing indeed.
