... allegedly, it's a suicide.

I think it sucks that he's gone, but I guess he decided his time here was up.

In a way I think it's fitting that he took his own life. He lived according to his own rules. Now he's died the same way.

This is a very sad day.

I count the short time I got to spend with Hunter as one of the high moments in my life.

His advice to me was : 'Get the fuck out of T.V. Son, before it kills you'.

In a sad twist last night I was at the station putting the final touches on a resume reel for a job making commercials when I received the news.

I don't really feel like going to work today - but I guess I take as my duty to try and see to it that at least one station doesn't mis-represent him. Considering the 11pm Weekend Producers comment was 'Hunter who?'.

A sad sad day indeed.

Siggy.

Very Sad indeed. A true icon of the 60's.

Never met the man, loved his writing, I mourn his departure.
