Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, famous for his supersubjective journalism, called "Gonzo", is reported dead of a suspected self inflicted gunshot wound, at his home in Colorado.  Dr. Thompson served in the Air Force, working as a sports editor for the Eglin Air Base news paper. He first appeared on the literary scene in 1966 with the publication of "Hells Angels, a Strange and Terrible Saga" detailing his year long stay with the motorcycle gang "The Hells Angels".

Hunter Stockton Thompson was born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1937.  He served two years in the U.S. Air Force, drafted in 1956, and was a sports reporter for the Eglin Air Force Base (Florida) news paper. Thompson also spent several years writing for newspapers in Puerto Rico and South America.

Thompson was a regular contributor to both Rolling Stone and more recently an ESPN Page 2 feature, "Hey Rube".
