I remember Gary Owens. Always liked the guy.

Here's two more:

David Carr, 58, media critic and journalist at the New York Times.

Stan Chambers, 91, longtime reporter for Los Angeles TV station KTLA. He was the first one to report about the video that recorded Rodney King being beaten by police officers in 1991.

So with Bob Simon that makes three journalists/reporters dying in a row. What's the claim about people dying in threes?
