A con site whose GOH was to be (honorary doctor) Richard Biggs has put up notice of his death -- no cause reported yet. It hasn't reached any major news feeds that [livejournal.com profile] callicrates could find, so I suppose I could try clinging to the hope that it's one of those "Reports of my death is greatly exaggerated" situations.

I was really surprised to hear that he had been going deaf as B5 was filmed. I was impressed when he used his B5 connections to throw a benefit for a deaf school, I believe in California. We need more people like him around -- it's sad that instead we've lost one.

An announcement was made by JMS on the B5 list this morning. :(

JMS posted an announcement which got forwarded to the JMSB5 list. He had either a massive stroke or an aneuyrism, they weren't sure as of the time he wrote it.

He sounded pretty stunned. I'll repost it on my LJ so people can read it.

That's my con in Indy. They got verbal confirmation from his agent early this afternoon.

I've seen elsewhere emails from JMS detailing what's happened, more or less, so I'm afraid this is official...
