LONDON -
Syd Barrett, the troubled genius who co-founded Pink Floyd but spent his last years in reclusive anonymity, has died, a spokeswoman for the band said Tuesday. He was 60.
The spokeswoman — who declined to give her name until the band made an official announcement — confirmed media reports that he had died. She said Barrett died several days ago. She did not disclose the cause of death.

They're not saying how he died....he was so troubled (not to mention his brain was addled from taking so much acid), I wonder if it might have been suicide. :confused:
