The Smoking Gun has published the autopsy report. Please note that this is an autopsy report, and as such contains explicit reference to things many of you may find upsetting.

I've thought long and hard about posting the link below, but what it has come down to is that I know visitors to this site are, for the most part, people who care greatly about David Foster Wallace and his works. I would also rather know that interested readers found this report after visiting here, and remembering that David Foster Wallace, from everything we've read, heard and know about him, was a good person. His life should not be defined by his final moments. I fear that wider reports about the link below will focus on the details of his last moments, rather than the insight with which he left us through his writing.

If anything, think about donating to the college trust fund DFW set up for his nieces. I can give you the address if you contact me directly (I have been asked not to post it directly on the site).
