I got in a couple of new DVD's this morning and in the process of researching their casts online happened across an article concerning the death of French actor, Guillaume Depardieu. It's very sad.

Exerpted from Wikipedia:

Depardieu was the son of actor GĂ©rard Depardieu and actress Elisabeth Depardieu. ..... In 1995 Depardieu had a motorcycle accident due to a suitcase that fell off a vehicle in front of him. Depardieu needed surgery on his knee. In the hospital he contracted a staphylococcus aureus infection in the knee, which led to an amputation in 2003. Depardieu died on October 13, 2008, at the Garches hospital the age of 37 after contracting severe viral pneumonia at a filming location in Romania, where he had been working on a new movie, "L'Enfance d'Icare."
