Tarantino Editor Sally Menke Found Dead at 56

Acclaimed editor Sally Menke, who notably edited all of Quentin Tarantino's films, has sadly been found dead of likely heat-related causes. The LA Times' sources say the Oscar-nominated filmmaker had gone hiking with a friend and her dog this morning; after her companion turned back, she continued with the Labrador Retriever and eventually collapsed in the uncharacteristically-high heat. Which is not at all how I wanted Los Angeles to finally get their comeuppance for always having perfect weather.

And since you're wondering, yeah, the dog was fine.
