Fearing, Loathing and Dying...

I dunno, this is very sad to me.

DENVER - Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of fictional journalism in books like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," fatally shot himself Sunday night at his Aspen-area home, his son said. He was 67.

Got the news just now via Chapel Perilous.

I do realize that Thompson was pretty unhappy overall, but I didn't ever think he'd be the type to actually pull the trigger on himself.
