That's what a lot of news sites are reporting. He turned out to be quite a lunatic, so I can't say I'm too upset by this.

It has been announced on the news, but no official cause of death yet.  An icon is gone.

He was a genius.  And men of genius are rare and precious, for any kind of original beauty comes from them. We all should  be sorry.

An amazing person who left behind not only a TREASURE of some of the best games ever played, but an incredible life story of achievement.

To think how small the list is of World Champions over the last 100 years or so... and Bobby, such an unlikely champion. His story will always be inspiring to me. His character flaws notwithstanding... Bobby will always symbolize what is best in Sport and competitive spirit.

No World Champion's story is trivial, and Bobby's rise to triumph should never be forgotten.
