This doesn't belong to hacker news

  Incorrect. Anything that is of interest to the community here belongs here. Read the guidelines on the site, there’s no requirement for any particular kind of content.

    >Anything that is of interest to the community here belongs here. False, if that were the case this place would turn into Reddit within a week. This is a purposely curated community. The guidelines state "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." There's no interesting new phenomenon here to make this worth discussing. It's just a celebrity obituary generating mediocre pop-culture nostalgia and member-berries.

      The guy himself was kind of an interesting phenomenon though.

  The 75/35 votes to comment ratio says otherwise.
