I guess I'm just at that age where all my heroes are dying or will soon: WSB, Spaulding Grey, Cash, John Balance, and now Hunter. I will not say I am sad until I understand the circumstances of his suicide better. Grey's suicide was tragic because of his depression and how long he had been carrying it with him.

With Hunter, I cannot help but wonder if maybe he just felt "fuck it." Regardless of why, his voice will be missed.

Hunter S. Thompson is definitely a hero of mine and has been for sometime.I was deeply saddened to hear about this,whatever the reason for the suicide. We'll never see an author like him again.

I'm still in disbelief... No note?
Surely Hunter would have left a note... Maybe he was really drunk and cleaning his '45?

Thompson To Be Blasted Across Estate

Hunter S. Thompson's ashes will be fired across his Colorado estate by a cannon, in keeping with his final wishes. The journalist and author committed suicide at his secure compound in Woody Creek on Sunday. He was 67. The Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas author wanted a simple, but bizarre funeral, during which his body is cremated and his ashes blasted across the ranch, according to his lawyer George Tobia Jr. Thompson's friend, journalist Troy Hooper explains, "I believe he wanted to be shot out of a cannon. I understand it's in his will. That's Hunter's style. That's how he would want it. He was a big fan of bonfires and explosions and anything that went bang and I'm sure he'd like to go bang as well."
