R.I.P
Prominent black comedian Bill Cosby was killed this morning in a tragic car accident in South Central Los Angeles. Coroner Russell Roberts said the 71-year-old Cosby sustained the fatal injuries in a multi-car crash. He was pronounced dead at Pikeville Medical Center.
The cause of the crash was blamed on the cell phone he was using to update his Twitter feed when driving in his car. It is thought that he was not paying attention when his BMW swerved into an oncoming truck. "There was really nothing we could do to help him, the damage to his brain was too severe" said Dr. Adams who performed an emergency operation on Mr Cosby. One other driver remains in a critical condition following the accident.
The routines that Grammy and Emmy award winning Cosby performed on his best-selling records in the 60's are still remembered word for word today. His pioneering television programs were huge hits, season after season. Cosby will also be remembered for his contributions to organisations such as The Jazz Foundation of America. His good-natured, fatherly image made him a popular personality and garnered him the nickname of "America's Dad". Tributes flowed onto the internet from around the world after the news of Cosby's death was reported by Dan Rathers on CNN. MTV will be having a special memorial program for him on Monday.
"First it's Eazy-E then it's then Bill Cosby" said Snoop Dogg, a famous rap singer and lifelong friend of Cosby.
