Will Munro, a popular and influential artist and DJ in Toronto who “changed the city for the better,” has died at age 35, according to the eulogy written by his friend on Now, a Canadian website. Munro, who was also a club promoter, bar owner, activist, and youth worker, came under attack by right-wing activists for creating art with used underwear he found at Goodwill and for addressing youth sexuality. Munro was also considered a big influence on Toronto’s club scene by creating and promoting the Vazaleen party, which was known for its welcoming atmosphere for people of all sexual orientations.

    Thanks Kevin....it's funny how the advocate missed this "minor" detail but was sure to note all of the self-asphyxiation deaths this year.
