  2. Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    He will be missed :(
