From MSNBC:

That's tragic.

But I've never heard of him.

I read that article earlier on MSNBC, it's sad when people commit suicide and it's even sadder when they do it in front of other people. The article said that his GF called 911, it makes me wonder if he did this in front of her, she heard the gunshot and found him, or found him after coming into his home or something.....

That's tragic.

But I've never heard of him.

Me either...but they were talking about his death on the Late Show last night (didn't mention suicide however). David Letterman and Chris Rock were talking about him dying. They said he was a good friend of Chris Rock's.

Hmm, his death if that is how it happened reminds me a little bit of Brenda Benet's....

His PLATYPUS MAN, IIRC, was probably one of the few UPN sitcoms from the beginning of that network that was, quite frankly, worth watching. I thought the rest were crap. I remembered his sitcom was pretty funny.

PLATYPUS MAN was the name of an actual UPN sitcom?

No wonder that network went under.
