Eh, he fits the profile of a self-killer. I've never read any of his work, but it sucks to lose somebody who might've had the capacity to influence others in a good way.

Yeah. He influenced me to try and locate mescaline. Unfortunately it's not abundant in Summerdale, Alabama.

Urgh...Thatcher....I thought her son being arrested would have done for her, but nope. Dammit.

He's one of those people who only post in politics for some reason.
I'm going to have to start reading Hunter's books now.

You can see how old I am, don't confuse me.

When the hell was William arrested? Did you mean Harry?

Frankly I think Mark Thatcher should be refused entry to the US on the grounds of being a bloody criminal!
Just because of his aging mother he's getting special treatment....should have left him in Africa to be lynched...

Famed Journalist Was On Phone With Wife During Suicide

POSTED: 93 am EST February 25, 2005

ASPEN, Colo. -- Hunter S. Thompson's widow said the 67-year-old journalist was talking to her on the phone when he killed himself.

Anita Thompson told the Aspen Daily News that her husband asked her to come home so they could work on his weekly ESPN column, but instead of saying goodbye, he set the phone down.

She said she "heard the click of the gun" and a loud, muffled noise followed.

Thompson said she heard the noise, but didn't know what had happened. "I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she said.

The author of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" shot himself in the head in the kitchen of their Colorado home. His son, daughter-in-law and 6-year-old grandson were in the house at the time.

This guy was one sick fuck.
