Update: TMZ has the story:

I think we'd have heard something more official by now...

Goodness, I hope not. That's terrible if true.

It is Vegas. Even the reporters get a slow start to the morning.

Is this like when Adam Sandler and John Goodman died?

At least he didn't die twice like Sean Connery

Sad if true.

If he was the victim I’ll need to pick up another WR for my fantasy team

Ironically he was in the Bond flick "You Only Live Twice".

I would think that we would know by now if he was the victim

Someone’s pulling the rug out from under us on this one.

Wut? That looks like at least the exact same model of car, and really damn close on the paint too.

To be clear - the rumor isn't that Ruggs died, its that someone died, and Ruggs was involved. At least that's what I'm gathering. But who knows.
