Thank you.
I'm going to wait for official news reports before I take this seriously, however.

That seems to be the only source so far. Nothing about it on google or yahoo search.

he was 102 years old, would it really surprise you? Death is a natural thing and will happen to everyone, he lived a great long life.

True. I just don't see him going just yet, only 10 days after Bicycle Day...just seems kinda abrupt.

Folks, this may be true but, it has not been confirmed yet. So far, besides a wikipedia entry that keeps changing, this http://reddit.com/info/6hj6e/comments/ is the only report that has been found so far.

Yeah, I will reserve my belief in this until I see more reputable sources. Anyway, if he did die today, REST IN PEACE. What a great man!

"Let us add at once that, on the other hand, the existence on earth of an animal soul turned against itself, taking sides against itself, was something so new, profound, unheard of, enigmatic, contradictory, and pregnant with a future that the aspect of the earth was essentially altered. Indeed divine spectators were needed to do justice to the spectacle that thus began and the end of which is not yet in sight - a spectacle too subtle, too marvelous, too paradoxical to be played out senselessly unobserved on some ludicrous planet!"

A comment on the popular social news site reddit announced Hofmann's death on April 29, 2008.[6] The announcement was also echoed by the blog Boing Boing,[7] but at this stage there are no other sources to confirm this rumor.

Until i heart it from a REAL source i won't believe it.

sure enough, he died.
I wonder where Erowid got their confirmation from. I don't think they would update it from a blog post.
