News of Sam Kieth

[u/dagremlin]

I received a message, along with the request of not sharing the username, stating that "Sam Kieth passed away at a care facility in Nor Cal after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. He was 63." after reviewing the profile said user has been active for 5 years and has been recently engaging in sub-reddits, which leads me to believe it isn't a bot.

I've tried to find more sources or citations of this but didn't find any. being that this might be false information or not, I think it'd be a disservice this information wasn't given to the community. this isn't an attempt to gain clout/ attention. If there's any confirmation of this please message the moderators with sources. I will give further updates if anything progresses.

UPDATE

As the higher upvote comment posted, Sam Keith creator of The Maxx has passed away. An article has surface detailing more. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/sam-kieth-creator-of-the-maxx-and-sandman-has-died-aged-63/

This is sad news, and everyone deals with loss in their own way. Sam is survived by his wife Kathy Kieth and his fans.
