British author Terry Pratchett dies
The 'Discworld' series author has been suffering from a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease since 2007

 

LONDON, United Kingdom – British science fiction and fantasy author Terry Pratchett, whose Discworld novels have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide, died on Thursday, March 12 at the age of 66, his publisher said.

“Terry passed away in his home, with his cat sleeping on his bed, surrounded by his family,” said Larry Finlay, managing director at Transworld Publishers, saying the world had lost one of its “brightest, sharpest minds.” In 2007, Pratchett announced that he was suffering from a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. – Rappler.com
