SANTO DOMINGO -- Nelson de la Rosa, the world's shortest actor and a ubiquitous good-luck charm for the Boston Red Sox during their victorious 2004 World Series run, died at a New York hospital on Sunday, his agent said.
De la Rosa, who was about 2-foot-4, died of unknown causes, producer Andres Duran told The Associated Press. He was 38.
He fell ill shortly after arriving in Miami on Friday from Chile, where the Dominican national had been working in a circus. On Saturday he flew to New York, where two of his brothers live, Duran said.
Born and raised in a small village near San Miguel, in Santo Domingo province, the charismatic de la Rosa became internationally known when he appeared alongside Marlon Brando in the 1996 film "The Island of Dr. Moreau."
The Internet Movie Database called him the world's shortest actor, and he was listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the shortest known adult in 1989.
After the baseball fan was introduced to then-Boston ace Pedro Martinez by a mutual friend, the two Dominicans became friends. De la Rosa became a regular presence in the team's clubhouse in the playoffs of the 2004 season, in which the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years.
De la Rosa's body will be sent back to the Dominican Republic after an autopsy and then could be put on display in a museum, his agent said.
De la Rosa is survived by his wife, a 9-year-old son, his mother and five siblings.

Its funny but I read a while back that he and Pedro had had a "falling out." How do you get into a feud with a midget?

Wow, I think it was the cigars that did him in. WASHINGTON -- Red Auerbach, the Hall of Fame coach who led the Boston Celtics to nine NBA championships in the 1950s and 1960s, died Saturday. He was 89. sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2642131

NEW YORK - CBS News reports that newsman Ed Bradley has died. Bradley spent 26 seasons on the newsmagazine "60 Minutes."
In an on-air announcement and an excuse to get her on TV to justify her salary, anchorwoman Katie Couric said Bradley died from complications of leukemia.

LOS ANGELES - Jack Palance, the craggy-faced menace in "Shane," "Sudden Fear" and other films who turned to comedy at 70 with his Oscar-winning self-parody in "City Slickers," died Friday. Palance died of natural causes at his home in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by family, said spokesman Dick Guttman. Palance was 85 according to Associated Press records, but his family gave his age as 87.

I dont like the dumb jokes whenever someone dies, and its reported here on the board. Its not that if offends me, cause it doesnt. Its just I like this thread better as a "news" thread, and when there is a new post here, its an alert that someone has died, and not another stretch at a joke. The fact that none of the jokes has been funny adds to this even more.
Anyone on board with this?
