[link]My dear friends, a well known director has passed away yesterday at the age of 47. Satoshi Kon has directed movies such as Tokyo Godfathers, Paranoia Agent and Paprika. It makes me very sad to say good-bye to a man whose movies have touched and entranced people of all ages. We can only say farewell and remember him as the man who brought some light into our lives.
Good bye Satoshi Kon. I'll miss you.

His movies are wonderful; they will live on.
the guy is about as old as my parents and he died
then again a few other famous people died close to that age not too long ago
any idea what happened?
