He was supposed to give a presentation at Space Access. He didn’t show up.
Over at Arocket, Ed LeBouthillier (his collaborator on his book) has a report:
I just got a call from the Las Vegas coroner’s office.
Apparently Charles has passed on and is no longer with us.
May the rocket gods look kindly on his soul. May he join his family, friends and ancestors in the family hall with honor.
Sorry to hear that. I didn’t know him well, but I’d talked to him a few times. RIP.

Same. He had an interesting brand of crazy.
No crazier than the rest of us. You know the old joke about how to make a small fortune in space?
Always enjoyed him on the Space Show.
Already posted a follow-up to the ARocket list. Sad news. He will be missed.
