I've been sitting here for the past ten minutes trying to think of a topic

Peter Steele of Type O Negative dead at 48.

Yes, I know they pulled a gag like this five years ago and I know I should wait for an official statement from the band and his family. He better hope he is dead, because if this is another gag he's liable to be clubbed to the approximate consistency of hummus with his own spleen for doing this twice.

CBS news confirms.

Heart Failure

When the cause of death is reported as "heart failure", unfortunately that ususally means drug related death. Otherwise it would be listed as "heat attack". :-(
