Author F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre (b.1948) died on June 25, an apparent suicide. MacIntyre was the author of The Woman Between the Worlds and MacIntyre’s Improbable Bestiary, the latter made up of his columns for Asimov’s. A body identified as MacIntyre’s was found in his burned apartment a day after he was taken to Coney Island Hospital for observation after police had received word that he might be suicidal.
