Leroi Moore died in ATV accident complications

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A publicist for the Dave Matthews Band says saxophone player LeRoi Moore has died of injuries suffered in an all-terrain-vehicle accident in June.

Publicist Ambrosia Healy says Moore died Tuesday at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles.

He was initially hospitalized in late June after the accident on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va.

Moore had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin physical rehabilitation when complications forced him back into the hospital.

Moore was 46.

Moore was injured in an ATV accident on June 30 in Charlottesville. He reportedly punctured a lung and broke his ribs. He was released from hospital but was readmitted following complications.

"LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. Moore had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program," a rep for the band told the web site.

TMZ reports that Matthews and his band will play a scheduled date tonight in Los Angeles.

Raymond Hunter Geisel Arrested for Death Threat

Raymond Hunter Geisel was arrested Wednesday for a death threat geared toward Sen. Barack Obama. According to a Secret Service affidavit, Geisel, 22, was in a class for bail bondsmen when he "allegedly referred to Obama with a racial epithet and continued, 'If he gets elected, I'll assassinate him myself.' " "Another person in the class quoted Geisel as saying that 'he hated George W. Bush and that he wanted to put a bullet in the president's head,' according to the Secret Service. "Geisel denied in a written statement to a Secret Service agent that he ever made those threats, and the documents don't indicate that he ever took steps to carry out any assassination. He was charged only with threatening Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but not for any threat against President Bush." Geisel was interviewed on Saturday by agents of the US Secret Service's Miami field office and arrested a day later. Geisel denied making thre...

Knight Industries Three Thousand (KITT)

KITT is back! But like almost everyone else on TV these days, the star of the revived "Knight Rider" has had a little work done. He's still KITT, but that now stands for Knight Industries Three Thousand. And instead of the classic Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, he's now a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR with nanotechnology and the ability to take on the temporary appearance of other cars. Though KITT may be the most recognizable name and grill from TV's recent past, he's not alone. They may not ever grab the cover of Rolling Stone or TV Guide, but these TV star cars have charisma to spare. The new KITT is one cranky back-seat driver. The reboot of the kitschy ’80s action show “Knight Rider” (premiering Wednesday night at 8 on WHDH, Ch. 7) comes with some solid CGI work, a few pretty people and an annoying spin on the retooled vehicle. The new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is one cool car, and in this age of big-screen “Transformers,” it better be. KITT is ca...
