> [@RTFirefly](#): > > A bunch of peeps just died at the age of 0. A tragic waste of 100 points. 😃 They were too young to be eligible. You’d have had to have eaten peeps from 1995 for them to count. And if you did that, people might be saying it’s too bad we couldn’t get points from fellow dopers. ---

> [@](#): > > “Buckwild” cast member [Shain Gandee was found dead](http://www.tmz.com/2013/04/01/shain-gandee-buckwild-dead-dies-mtv-star/), TMZ reports. In a statement released Monday morning, the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department reported the [MTV reality star as missing](http://www.kanawhasheriff.us/2013/04/01/april-1-2013-for-immediate-release-kcso-seeking-info-on-missing-men/). However, authorities later confirmed that the [21-year-old was found dead](http://www.wvgazette.com/News/201304010070) in a truck in Sissonville, W. Va., along with two other bodies, the Charleston Gazette reports. [Shain Gandee Dead: 'Buckwild' Star Dies At 21 | HuffPost Entertainment](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/01/shain-gandee-dead-buckwild-star-dies_n_2992740.html) Never heard of him or the reality TV show.

> [@For You](#): > > We have to find out who he is using for a hit squad. Face it, \*\*SHE \*\*just has better Google-fu than you. And a very morbid browser history on her work computer (always done at lunch though … really!) (What do you mean, you haven’t started working on next year’s list yet?!?) Although it sounds like I’m out of luck for the “Golden Casket Award” as one of mine has made a remarkable recovery (and I am very pleased that Ron Hynes is doing so well, really I am!) and there appears to be a bunch just hanging on that I may have been premature to pick. Ah well, there is always next year. (althought clearly not for everyone … like most of those on my list) ---
