I just heard in one my fantasy yahoo groups, so no links as of yet, but he died last night my time, after a long fight with a horrid disease.

The Wheel of Time remains unfinished and the last 12th book should have been it, the end of the saga. I was a great admirer of it and it is really a tragic day for both us the fans, and him, who worked so hard on what is for me, one of the better fantasy works we have ever had.

Rest in peace Dragon.

His wikipedia page seems to confirm it now.

Wow... We all saw it coming, but... no words.
Sad to see such a great guy go

I didn't think it would be so soon.
I cannot believe this. I can't. I can't.

'tis sad news indeed...

The Wheel of Time remains unfinished and the last 12th book should have been it, the end of the saga.

Although the WoT was much critisized, I found the series quite enjoyable, in spite of many obvious flaws. I hear they are still planning to publish the 12th book, A Memory of Light.
