Robert E. Howard, American poet and fiction writer famous for writing pulp fiction and creator of Conan and Solomon Kane, died in Cross Plains, Texas on this date in 1936. He was 30 years old. Howard committed suicide upon being informed that his mother, who was dying of tuberculosis, would not regain consciousness. He walked out of his house, gun in his hand, and got into his car. Robert E. Howard had shot himself in the head. Although a Conan novel was nearly published into a book in 1934, his stories never appeared in book form during his lifetime. His mother succumbed the following day and they were buried in the same plot in nearby Brownwood.

Edited the above post to mention the passing of Böhm. Also, Jay Pritzker (1922-1999) the more known co-founder of the Pritzker Prize is dead but I was wondering: is the co-founder of the prize, Cindy Pritzker (1923-?), Jay's wife still alive? https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/ct-fam-cindy-pritzker-chicago-0517-20160517-story.html Apparently she was in 2016 according to this article. She was a tomboy growing up who carried a pocket knife in her boot, she said. Well, the boot had a pocket for a knife, which she never took out. Still, "I thought I was hot stuff." However, according to findagrave, she died later during the same year: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/173235282/marian-cindy-pritzker But actually probably alive as she is mentioned alive on her brother Hugo's (1925-2021) obituary: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?n=hugo-friend&pid=197492507

As an aside it is remarkable how much longevity tennis players have. I was recently writing an article on the 1974 Wimbledon Championships for a magazine and I checked if all the protagonists were still alive. Incredibly for (me at least), all of the 16 quarter finalists in the Men's and Women's tournament are still breathing as of this moment. Which considering it is 46 years ago and most of them are now well into their 70s (some are in their 80s) is quite remarkable. Tennis players generally appear a lot healthier than say footballers, rugby players or cricketers. I suppose what I am trying to say is expect a lot of geriatric tennis players over the next couple of decades as very few of the main players from the 1960s and 1970s have died yet.

Imagine how much of a cunt you need to be to want to work as a Bono impersonator.
