Charles Rocket dead at 56
Wow, this story talks about what the official cause of death is for ex-Saturday Night Live cast member Charles Rocket, and I hadn't even heard that the guy had died. His body was found in a field in Canterbury, CT on October 7, and the coroner has listed the death as a suicide.
Rocket was on the show in 1980 to 81, and is known for being fired after using the word f**k on air live during his anchoring of Weekend Update. He also played Bruce Wills' brother on Moonlighting, co-starred with John Goodman in Normal, Ohio last season, and guested on a ton of show, from Law and Order and The Pretender to Lois and Clark and Touched By An Angel. He was in a short-lived show I know I'll be writing about soon, Home Court, which I rather enjoyed, and on the big screen he was in Dumb and Dumber and Dances With Wolves.
