We’re deeply saddened to report that Robert Guskind, the founder of one of our favorite blogs Gowanus Lounge and frequent Curbed contributor died yesterday. From Brooklyn Paper:
After days of speculation inside and outside the blogosphere, much-liked journalist Robert Guskind died on Wednesday, the city Medical Examiner confirmed this morning.The death of the creative mind behind the Gowanus Lounge blog, whose behavior had been increasingly erratic over the past few months as he has lost several jobs, separated from his wife amid an extra-marital affair, and waged angry crusades against supposed enemies, was first reported by his friend and fellow blogger, Miss Heather, who runs a popular Greenpoint-based Web site.
She reported in a video that he was found dead in his apartment. The medical examiner said an autopsy would be performed on the body, which was found at 7:19 pm on Wednesday.
Guskind’s Gowanus Lounge site had been down for days, and his obsessively regular Twitter blasts also stopped coming on Monday, said friends who expressed their concern to The Brooklyn Paper.
A sad day. You’ll be missed Robert.
