Seems it was a case of cardiac issues bought on by years of overexertion and testicular rupture.

Just read on Facebook that Bob Hoskins (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) has died from pneumonia at 71.

I read that it was actually a report that had him confused with Phil Collins.

RIP "Alien" artist H.R. Giger.

Swiss artist H.R. Giger, who designed the creature in Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror classic "Alien," has died at age 74 from injuries suffered in a fall, his museum said Tuesday.

Sandra Mivelaz, administrator of the H.R. Giger museum in Gruyeres, western Switzerland, told The Associated Press that Giger died in a hospital on Monday.

Giger's works, often showing macabre scenes of humans and machines fused into hellish hybrids, influenced a generation of movie directors and inspired an enduring fashion for "biomechanical" tattoos.

"My paintings seem to make the strongest impression on people who are, well, who are crazy," Giger said in a 1979 interview with Starlog magazine. "If they like my work they are creative ... or they are crazy."

Man, Giger was a big inspiration to me. Don't know if you've ever seen his stuff in person (or in a over-sized picture book) but the detail in his pieces is staggering.

I know I'll miss him.
