On February 20, 2005, legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson called his wife from their home in Woody Creek, Colorado and asked her to come back and help him with his new column. As she hung up, she heard a click that she assumed was the sound of his typewriter keys — but was in fact the cocking of his gun. Just then, according to the police report, Thompson put the gun to his head and fired, ending his life at the age of 67.
