Is E. Lynn Harris Dead?

I'm not a fan of reporting stories that are in development, but since it's spreading rapidly, I want you to at least be in the know. Several sources are saying that E. Lynn Harris, the openly gay author that exposed a lot of us to what goes on behind the scenes of Black homosexuality, has died. All are citing ArkansasSports360.com as their source. Apparently Harris was found in his hotel room this morning during a West Coast book tour. No official confirmation has come, but big sites like Essence.com and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's website have picked it up. Naturally, the Macklicious One will be all over this today, too. Stay tuned...
