Singer Elliott Smith dead at 34
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Elliott Smith, a singer-songwriter whose dark, introspective songs won him critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination, has apparently committed suicide, his publicist and coroner's officials said Wednesday. He was 34.

Smith's body was found by his live-in girlfriend Tuesday, Los Angeles County Coroner Records Supervisor Marsha Grigsby told AP Radio.

He sustained a single stab wound to the chest that appeared to be self-inflicted, she said.

His New York-based publicist, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also confirmed his death.

:cry:

*plays Miss Misery in honor of Mr. Smith*

Holy shit, that is scary.
and sad.

He just played a concert here, at the University of Utah, a couple of weeks ago, and I missed it for a friends birthday. What a shame.

How sad.

jesus.

that's fucked. i wonder why he'd off himself. maybe he was experiencing some kurt cobainesque self-loathing with regards to his success/deal with dreamworks.

he always seemed like the kind of guy who was never comfortable on a major.
