No details, just a "Breaking News" banner at msnbc.com, but an Atlanta TV station is reporting that Johnnie Cochran died today!

CNN says the same.. in his home no less

Ooops here's the story

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Famed attorney Johnnie Cochran, 67, perhaps best known for his defense of O.J. Simpson, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles.

"I loved him as a good Christian man; I look at Johnny as a great Christian," Simpson told CNN. "I knew him as that. He was a great guy."

Simpson said he last saw Cochran at an L.A. Lakers basketball game a few months ago and found the flamboyant lawyer to be in good spirits. "We were praying for him then, and I still am," Simpson said.

Simpson added that he knew Cochran long before he hired the African-American lawyer to lead his 'Dream Team' defense. "I was in social circles with Johnnie and we knew each other in that way," he said.

Damn... he was one of the people I had considered picking for my Rotten.com dead pool - It's already almost April and I haven't scored once.

LA Times reported cause of death as an inoperable brain tumour. Anyone remember what did Robert Kardashian die of?

Geez...I didn't even realized he was dead. I looked it up, Robert Kardashian died of esophageal cancer in 2003, he was only 59. The "Dream Team" is dying young.

These people are under incredible amounts of stress. No wonder they're dying young.

Either that, or God is paying attention after all.....
