According to latest reports from leading news agencies, famed evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is dead. His body was found in his garage by his wife earlier today. Dawkins was an atheist, a vice president of the British Humanist Association, and a supporter of the Brights movement. He came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution. Police statements indicate that foul play is not suspected in the death of the former University of Oxford professor. Richard Dawkins was 73.http://www.theguardian.com/global/2014/oct/10/obituary-richard-dawkins

Someone should tell Richard to stop tweeting if he is dead
Crappy way to start off as a getbigger.
That was 3 hours ago. This is breaking fake news.
Police investigations are still in the preliminary stage but the cause of death is widely believed to be suicide.
Confirmed atheist Richard Dawkins was forced onto the defensive yesterday after he died but subsequently rose from the dead in a miraculous resurrection, much like that of the son of God Jesus Christ.‘There are a number of perfectly logical scientific explanations for what has happened’ he told journalists flocking to hear his story or just touch the hem of his clothing. ‘Although I was pronounced dead after the unfortunate incident on Friday, the doctors clearly made a mistake. The fact that there was thunder and lightning, and those around claim to have heard the sound of angelic voices is completely irrelevant.’Dawkins suffered a shocking but ironic death on Friday having been seized by a mysterious gang of burly men dressed as Roman soldiers. They nailed him to a cross, and left him there until he died some hours later. However on Sunday, his body was no longer to be found in Slough mortuary, and he was seen walking on the A4 towards his home, where his resurrection was hailed as a miracle.
(Local Team News 9) Richard Dawkins died in a single vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics responding to the vehicle accident and was identified by photo ID found on his body. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been a factor in this accident - October 10, 2014 Richard Dawkins flipped vehicle Highway Safety Investigators have told reporters that Richard Dawkins lost control while driving a friend's vehicle on Interstate 80 and rolled the vehicle several times killing him instantly.The vehicle was believed to have been traveling at approximately 95 miles per hour in a 55mph zone at the time of the accident. Witnesses have stated that Richard Dawkins's car crossed the double lines several times prior to the accident and hit the center lane divider causing the vehicle to flip and roll. Toxicology tests will be performed to determine whether he was driving under the influence, however initial findings indicate that durgs or alcohol did not contribute in any way to this accident as it was more likely to been caused by road conditions. Memorial services for Richard Dawkins have not yet been announced. The service is expected to be a closed casket funeral due to the severe head trauma.
Rest in Peace, brother
