    I just wish it had taken place on another holiday. National coming out day would have worked for me.

    I just saw that on TV and came here to post it. 50 years old and died of pneumonia? That's just terrible.

    Very sad indeed. Last Sunday, his death was misreported by various news outlets (including CNN). When I didn't hear anything this week, I thought that he might have been recuperating. Sadly not the case.

    That's awful.

    All my thoughts go to his family and friends. Such a young age, and he felt younger than that - I had no idea he was 50. I would have said late 30s.

    Rest in peace, bud.

    I read today that the great Paul Newman has left the hospital because he wishes to die at home alongside his wife. Apparently, it's a matter of weeks.
