Hunter S. Thompson - Update
Thompson's Wish to Be Fired Out of a Cannon Will Come True!!!
Well, in keeping with Hunter S. Thompson's mysterious persona, his closest friends (including Fear & Loathing's Johnny Depp) have agreed to try and make the Counter-Culture's icon's last wish a reality. Thompson always said that he wanted to be cremated, loaded in a cannon, and blasted into the sky; so that's exactly what their doing. What a way to end an extraordinary life.
It is still mostly a mystery why the Author took his own life. Reports that I have heard this morning said that an autopsy confirms the death was a suicide, there was no note left, and both Thompson's son & grandson were in the house when it happened. Friends of the deceased claim he was in a fine mood the day before and are baffled as to why he would do this without explanation.
