With the history of Bell, perhaps Friday the 13th was actually the best time to meet a maker ...

A law exists in the state that autopsies are performed on people who die in their homes. Same will occur in this case, it is reported.

The Nye County Sherrif was asked to NOT announce Art's passing by his wife, until an appropriate time. Airyn did not want the media exposure until she was ready. In fact some family members were not even notified. Why would Nye County Sherrif publicize Art's passing until the family was ready? They are a disgrace to the community and an assault to privacy. Those of us in Art's inner circle had a plan to inform the family and fans of Art's passing in an appropriate manner, and they took this away from us. Shame on Nye county sheriff department.
