    Naturally I am quite upset about this news
    First Ralph Wiley, and now Hunter Thompson.
    (I suppose that now that I think about it, suicide was the only and most fitting way that he
    was gonna check outta this place called earth,,,)

    ASPEN, Colo. - Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counter-culture author of books such as "Fear
    and Loathing in Las Vegas," fatally shot himself Sunday night at his Aspen-area home, his son
    said. He was 67.

    "Hunter prized his privacy and we ask that his friends and admirers respect that privacy as
    well as that of his family," Juan Thompson said in a statement released to the Aspen Daily
    News.

    Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis, a personal friend of Thompson, confirmed the death to the
    News. Sheriff's officials did not return calls to The Associated Press late Sunday.
