Sad Time for Funny Guy

I’ve been a big fan of Weird Al Yankovic for many years, so it was pretty sad to read a story that says that his parents have both died.

THE elderly parents of Grammy-winning recording artist “Weird Al” Yankovic have been found dead in their home, apparently from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Nick and Mary Yankovic were found on Saturday by relatives who were worried because they had not seen the couple for some time.

Paramedics found Mr Yankovic, 86, in a chair in the living room. His wife, 81, was on the bathroom floor.
