holy shit! that one's a real surprise...40?? and presumably in great physical shape? (i mean i assume he still danced)

we actually saw him on tour for SYTYCD, maybe 10, 12 years ago? obviously immensely talented.  anyway...wow, that's really young and quite unexpected. sheesh. 😕

 

ETA: oh shit just saw it was a damn SUICIDE by gunshot. my god. wtf. ☹️

That's what stuck out to me. Things have to be really bad for you to leave that behind. Always seemed like a likable, positive, happy guy.

This has been on every newscast since yesterday afternoon. They’re giving it the same coverage as Robin Williams. Sucks that he decided to see what a bullet tastes like, but yesterday morning I couldn’t have told you the name of Ellen’s DJ, or if she even had one! Now Fox26 out of Houston is giving it a racial spin by talking about the black men’s suicide rate.
