"David Foster Wallace Dead
from Edward Champion's Filthy Habits by DrMabuse



I've received terrible news from an anonymous source.  David Foster
Wallace, the talented writer of Infinite Jest, is dead of an apparent
 suicide. I have confirmed with multiple sources that this is indeed
the case. The Claremont Police Department informed me that they
answered a call at Mr. Wallace's residential address, in which someone
had discovered a deceased body. The name of the body has been
 withheld.

I have also contacted the Los Angeles County Coroner and I received
partial confirmation from them too. At the time, I called, they were
in the process of informing the family.

I have also left a message for Wallace's agent, Bonnie Nadell, to find
 out if she knows anything.

But the facts indicate that David Foster Wallace is dead of suicide at
the age of 46. This is a terrible blow for American letters. And I
hope to have more later."


I can find nothing about it anywhere else, and I hate to spread a
 rumors, but Ed Champion is fairly reliable and well-connected enough
for this to be believable.

I am sick and heartbroken and hope like hell that I am spreading false
information.
