Africa's movie star bushman dies (BBC) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3045170.stm) N!xau, whose name is pronounced with a southern African click, starred as a Kalahari bushman who found a Coca Cola bottle - an alien object to his tribe.

He was found dead near his home in Namibia after going out to collect wood. He was believed to have been 59 years old.

"Apparently he went out to find wood on Tuesday and never returned," Mireschen Troskie-Marx of Mimosa Films, which produced the movie, said.

"His family went out looking for him and he was found dead in a field. We believe it was of natural causes."What? He changed my life. That whole film did.

I can only thank him for that.
