It sounds like a Natasha Richardson-type thing. His plane blew a tire while landing and he hit his head - he wasn't wearing a seat belt, apparently - and thought he was fine.

He wasn't.

I like to think he shouted himself to death.

I find this much more upsetting than the globed one's demise.

I nominate Fitz from Slap-Chop to take his place.

This is one celebrity I won't miss. They should check for cancer of the volume control.
