This is just scratching the surface for bad 2012s.
Shockingly, people may have had a worse year than Romney tattoo guy.
SAD. Tommy Marth, touring saxophonist for The Killers, was found dead in his Las Vegas home earlier this week. His death was ruled a suicide today, Marth was 33. The band posted on their official Twitter feed: “Last night we lost our friend Thomas Marth. Our prayers are with his family.There’s a light missing in Las Vegas tonight. Travel well, Tommy.”
UPDATE: CNN confirms the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
Really messed up. Reminds us of the death of Jonathan Melvoin a little, the abruptness of it all.
- 200 dead cows found on a farm in Portage County, Wisc. source
This happened just down the road from my house. It was super weird because they all died in a single night, with no warning. Even though we’ve been told the infection/virus/whatever won’t spread to other animals, people in the area are (understandably, I think) worried about their pets. And the man whose cows died recently had his barn burn down, too. I feel so bad for him.
Some local context on this weird cow thing. Very sad.

Eight years is a long time for a couple to be together when they haven’t married. Especially in Hollywood, where it seems like couples break up every week. So it’s understandable that one might feel bad for Macaulay Culkin, who has been dating Mila Kunis (the girl who started out as a co-star of “That ’70s Show” and the voice of the frumpy girl on “Family Guy,” and ended up a probable Oscar winner for “Black Swan”) for eight years. Poor Mac. Dude has had an ultra-weird life, but the normalcy of dating Mila Kunis probably helped. source
