This one really saddens me. Have they figured out the cause yet?

No written cite, but on the radio this morning, the news bit said no suspicious circumstances, and the family wanted memorial donations to go to the American Heart Association.

His Wikipedia bio had him listed as dead 15 minutes before I could find a news site to verify it.

I am so pissed. I had Bowie each of the last two years, and dropped him this year.

He would have been a unique pick, too. You could fry an egg on my back right now.

The nerve of the old man, dying three months after I drop him. Didn’t he realize his death was all about me? I, I, I, me, me, me. Man, I just can’t get a break in this damn contest.

I know, it’s only a matter of time before it takes it’s next victim. Today it was Sinbad, tomorrow it may be YOU!

[Quote=Dave Letterman]
“Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character,
but in reality he was just himself–a genuine, modest and nice man,”
Letterman said in a statement Wednesday. “To our staff and to our
viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will
miss him.”
