Ted Demme, the director of Blow and Beautiful Girls and the nephew of director Jonathan Demme, died Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Coroner's office tells the Associated Press. He was 37. Though the cause of death is not known, hospital officials say he was in full cardiac arrest when he was brought in by paramedics.

He was on the show once if I recall, and it was a pretty good interview. The obvious question is to the cause of the cardiac arrest. Shame if its through natural causes.

NO, if someone is perhaps doing wads and wads of drugs and dies of a heart attack, then I don't consider it a "shame", and have no compassion for it. And no, I'm not saying that is the case here, yet.

It's amazing that because a guy directed a movie about cocaine, one of the first things people think of when he dies is that it could be cocaine related. Does that mean when George Lucas dies we can just assume that somehow Darth Vadar was involved?

FYI:
Film, TV Director Ted Demme Dies

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - Ted Demme, a film and television director whose credits include the film ``Blow,'' died after playing basketball. He was 38.

Demme was participating in a celebrity basketball game at the private Crossroads School when he was stricken Sunday, said Ted Braun, a spokesman for Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center.

Paramedics rushed Demme to the hospital's emergency room in full cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead 20 minutes later.

The cause of death has not been determined and an autopsy will be conducted, said Lt. Cheryl MacWillie of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.

Demme, a nephew of director Jonathan Demme, directed Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in last year's ``Blow.'' The film was based on the true story of George Jung, who was the American connection to the Colombian cocaine cartel in the late 1970s and early '80s when the drug became hip.

Demme, who lived in West Hollywood, also directed the 1996 film ``Beautiful Girls'' and was a director on the 1999 television series ``Action.''

His uncle, Jonathan Demme, was director of the 1991 film ``Silence of the Lambs,'' which won the Oscar for best picture. He also directed the films ``Philadelphia,'' ``Married to the Mob'' and ``Something Wild.''






Here's a tip that will save you alot of grief and time...

Don't believe in and depend on anyone but yourself.

Gooch, are you saying somehow Jay Mohr is involved in the death of Ted Demme?

Hmm... the plot thickens.

Ted Demme was a talented guy and made good films and even turned Opie onto Memento. Kind of disappointing he died so young.

Ree, are you implying that Gooch is saying somehow Jay Mohr is involved in the death of Ted Demme? Unless Mr. Demme had a heart attack after slipping in a map of Hawaii curiously left on the basketball court, that definitely would be something.
