Comedian George Carlin dies in Los Angeles at 71
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.
Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of his "Filthy Words" routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

I've never really been a fan, but from what I've seen he was a funny dude.

Sad sad news. He was such a brilliant man. I wish I was able to see him last time he was here in Florida. 
He'll never be forgotten, that's for sure. RIP George, tell Mitch I say hi in comedian heaven!

He meant at that very moment, while he was on stage... of course the man was not immortal. Noobsauce!
"What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
