Actor James Ransone, age 46, suicide.
First saw him as Ziggy Sobotka in the second season of The Wire. David Simon liked him so much that he gave him his tour de force role in Simon's next series, Generation Kill. If you've never seen it, you should. It's a cynical look at the military and command structure, the screw-ups that always happen in war, and it's also hysterically funny, Ransone being a major catalyst of that.
I can only assume that depression at not having a more successful career after that role, and possibly drugs or other vices played a contributing factor.
