“No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your (old) age. Relax — This won’t hurt.” “Gonzo journalist” Hunter S. Thompson left these words behind in his suicide note.

He was on the phone with his wife when he killed himself with a shot to the head. Actor Johnny Depp orchestrated the 2005 funeral, which included the writer’s ashes being shot from a cannon.
