Toller Cranston has died.

http://www.thestar.com/sports/2015/01/24/toller-cranston-figure-skating-legend-dies-in-mexico-at-age-65.html

Another source said it was likely a heart attack.

My sympathies to his many fans and to all fans of figure skating.

way too young. Loved his skating and his style. His creativity really set the stage for those who followed.
