A designer at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, Leo Obstbaum, “died suddenly” on 2009.08.21. This is a continuation of a worrying trend of decimation of the coterie of gay graphic designers, which is already so small we can’t afford a single man overboard.
But “died suddenly” is a newspaper euphemism for “committed suicide.” I asked already if that’s what really happened, to no avail.
His company Web site is still up and still maintains he is beavering away on the Olympics.
