This just in. What you are seeing are the first pictures, of what we
believe, could possibly be the sad tragic death of the crowned prince
of daytime Children's tv.. Mr. Walter Germsworth, the III.. He may of
been Walt to us, but to millions of children he was and will always be
known simply as Elmo.

Early reports, reported the he had been involved in a shameful drug
dealing gone wrong, gunned down sensesly in vain at the tender age of
twenty three.. However, nothing could be further from the truth. He
was twenty eight. Hit accidently by a toddler, who was learning to
push his toy car.
Elmo was on his way home to his apartment last night after a late
night on the set of Seasme Street. His fellow castmates remember him
fondly.

I spent this afternoon with the cast recounting tales of his
extraordinary genius both on and off the set. Look for that interview
this Tuesday night following the 6 o'clock news.

Rember the some of these pictures that follow, may be considered to
graphic for some of our younger viewers.
