JoeinAR 1,949 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 John Williams has DIED.John Williams, winner of 5 Academy Awards, and recipient of 45 nominations was killed today in a bizarre accident. First appearances seem to indicate it was an act of murder, but investigators have since concluded Maestro Williams died under accidental circumstances. Police received a 9-11 call that a Cadillac CTS had crashed, and upon arrival found the Boston Pops Emeritus slumped over the steering wheel. It appeared that he had a conductor’s baton sticking out of his mouth. Crime scene investigators said there was both blood and saliva coming out of Mr. Williams’ mouth. However upon further investigation, it was concluded that Williams had been eating a chicken on a stick, and that something caused Mr. Williams to slam on the breaks, thus forcing the chicken on a stick to be impaled through the back of Mr. Williams’ throat. Apparently there was something in the road that caused John to slam on the breaks, while he was eating the chicken while the stick was in his mouth. The coroner’s reports shows that several bites of chicken were found in the Maestro’s stomach, along with several fish, a sea turtle, a small dolphin, and a Louisiana license plate.Williams is a 5 time Oscar Winner He recently lost to Brokeback Mountain, in the most recent Academy Awards. He is most notably remembered for his scores to Heartbeeps, Cinderella Liberty, his work on Yes Georgio, and Valley of the Dolls.Williams is survived by his wife Joan, his two sons and a daughter. His wife from a previous marriage died of cancer in 1983. Funeral services will be held in St. Marks Methodist Church in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say, i am terribly saddened by this loss. I was watching muchmusic where i quote devin:"We've had breaking news that legendary film composer john williams has died from a car accident. he wrote very many scores including those to Star Wars, Indiana jones, et, schindlers list, harry potter, and countless other famous pieces. this is a very sad day for all musicians."
