All the years of hard living, life finally caught up with Rick James. From CNN.com: "Singer Rick James was found dead in his home Friday by his caretaker, a Los Angeles police department spokesman said."
Update: CNN.com now has the full story. The cause of death has been attributed to "existing medical conditions," but one of James' producers said it was a heart attack.
Earlier this week, Mr James was preceeded into the afterlife by reknowned photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.
This really isn't a blog about death, but following up on that stupid case where the victim's parents blamed the videogame "Manhunt" for their son's murder, it has been revealed that the game belonged not to the accused, but to the deceased.
That sucks. I just saw Jamie Foxx on Conan last night and he said he was working on a reality show with Rick James called "Rebuilding the Rock Star". Post-production prospects don't look so good now.
