The New York Times has a skateboarder obit with a URL date of July 9.
Here is an earlier version from the LA Times—
By Keith Thursby, Los Angeles Times
Chris Cahill, one of the original Dogtown Z-Boys
who brought seismic changes to skateboarding
with their style and attitude, has died. He was 54.
Cahill was found June 24 at his Los Angeles home,
said Larry Dietz of the Los Angeles County
coroner's office. A cause of death has not been
determined and tests are ongoing, Dietz said.
