Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson, legendary author, political commentator and “gonzo” journalist, died Sunday night after shooting himself in the head with a handgun at his home in Woody Creek. He was 67.

Thompson’s son, Juan, found his father’s body in the kitchen around 6 p.m. By 6:30 p.m., Thompson’s home at 1278 Woody Creek Road was sealed off by a sheriff’s van.
