R. Lee Ermey had passed- BOGUS Info

Quote
It's with a heavy heart that I find myself writing this about someone I've admired for many years.  Ever since "Full Metal Jacket", R. Lee Ermey embodied the image of a hard-ass Marine for most of us.  He was a person whose personal life was as interesting as the characters he portrayed.  Serving in the Marines from 1961-1972 as a staff sergeant, he was later given the honorary rank of gunnery sergeant because of his ongoing support of military personnel everywhere, and because of his gritty portrayal of Gunny Hartmann. He had a decorated career before being medically retired in 1972 because of the numerous injuries he sustained in his years of service.  Ermey's service awards can be seen here:

Ermey succumbed to complications associated with pneumonia at 3:14 AM at his home in San Diego .  His nearly sixty film appearances will continue to inspire and cement his legacy for many years to come.

Give 'em hell, Gunny!

Looks like someone suckered you in...

http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/celebrities/ss/r_lee_ermey_death_notice.htm

Not only is retired Marine Staff Sgt. and award-winning actor R. Lee Ermey alive and well as of this writing (June 4, 2010), but there have been no recent press reports that he is ailing. Quite to the contrary, according to Associated Press he was on hand for the 2010 Memorial Day parade in Washington, DC on May 31 and even gave statements to reporters — well over a week after this bogus obituary began circulating online.
