huntedbyafreak Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Many of you will probably not be with me on this, but I think this has upset me just as much as John Peel's death. I love my music but literature is my medium and there was never a better, funnier, or more human writer than Hunter. I re-read the Great Shark Hunt recently on holiday and people were beginning to think I was strange because I just kept on laughing to myself while I was reading. It's unfortunate but he couldn't have died any other way. His words will stay with me until the day i die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zeenat Aman Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Yahoo news:ASPEN, Colo. - The widow of journalist Hunter S. Thompson said her husband killed himself while the two were talking on the phone."I was on the phone with him, he set the receiver down and he did it. I heard the clicking of the gun," Anita Thompson told the Aspen Daily News in Friday's editions.She said her husband had asked her to come home from a health club so they could work on his weekly ESPN column but instead of saying goodbye, he set the telephone down and shot himself.Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled noise, but didn't know what had happened. "I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she said.Hunter Thompson, famous for "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and other works of New Journalism, shot himself in the head Sunday in the kitchen of his Aspen-area home. He was 67.His son, daughter-in-law and 6-year-old grandson were in the house when the shooting occurred.Anita Thompson, 32, said her husband had discussed killing himself in recent months and had been issuing verbal and written directives about what he wanted done with his body, his unpublished works and his assets.His suicidal talk put a strain on their relationship, she said."He wanted to leave on top of his game. I wish I could have been more supportive of his decision," she said. "It was a problem for us." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
