Hunter S. Thompson kills himself
The author and journalist Hunter S. Thompson was found dead last night (Reuters story). A news overview is on Google Groups.
Thompson is best known for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, in which he describes a booze- and drug-filled journey to Las Vegas, undertaken by Thompson’s alter ego Raoul Duke, and his attorney Dr. Gonzo. It was made into a major feature film, starring Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke.
A fitting end for a great writer.
