The ex-husband of Matt Lucas, the co-brains of Little Britain, was found dead in his home yesterday morning. The Telegraph reports that Kevin McGee hanged himself after writing this suicide note on his Facebook account: “Kevin McGee thinks death is much better than life.”

Matt and Kevin were married in 2006, but they divorced last year. Some say that Matt just couldn’t take Kevin’s constant drug use.

Friends of Matt say he’s “completely destroyed” and it doesn’t help that he’s currently starring in Prick Up Your Years in the West End. Anybody who has seen the movie or play knows it’s about tragic gay sadness. Sad.

Patrick Swayze died today at the age of 57. Swayze died after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 20 months ago in March of 2008. Swayze’s publicist, Annett Wolf, said today:

“Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months.”

Swayze recently filmed an A&E drama called The Beast, and compiled a memoir with his wife.

We are very sad to lose another good Hollywood actor.

TMZ and The New York Post are both reporting that DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, was found dead this afternoon in his NYC apartment. He was only 36.

The cops say his friends had not heard from him for a few days. When his friends went to check on him, they didn’t get any response after knocking on his door. The police were called and they knocked down the door to his apartment. Sources tell the NY Post that drug paraphernalia was found in his apartment.

It was almost a year ago when DJ AM and Travis Barker both survived a fatal plane crash in South Carolina.

This is absolutely crazy and tragic. Everyone on Twitter is saying this is like Final Destination (and the fourth movie opens today, gulp). I don’t know about that, but I do know this is all sorts of sad. The Summer of Death needs to end. Can it be Autumn already?

Rest in peace, DJ AM.
