David Mills, RIP

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

The Washington Post has published a fine remembrance of David Mills, the journalist and Emmy-winning television writer who died this week at the age of 48.

Mills wrote for two of the best dramas ever to appear on television, Homicide and The Wire. He collapsed on the set of Treme at New Orleans’ Cafe Du Monde on Tuesday, dying of a brain aneurysm.

    this hits pretty hard. My mom died last year of a brain aneurysm at 61. Her dad died of an abdominal aneurysm, his brother, the same. I’m a healthy guy, but genetics can be a bitch!

    hate seeing this happen to such a talented guy. RIP

    yeah, it’s hard to see talented people (and family members) pass, but if you ask me, aneurysms are the way to go.
