Hunter S. Thompson left the note, titled Football Season is Over, for his wife, Anita. He shot himself four days later at his home in Aspen, Colorado.

This is the text of the letter:

"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun – for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax – This won’t hurt."
