No, our member Rhah is alive, well and posting.
However, the actor who played Rhah is dead.
MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say actor Francesco Quinn, the son of Academy Award-winner Anthony Quinn, has died. He was 48. (http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/obit/2011-08-08-francesco-quinn_n.htm)
Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. James Royal says Quinn was walking home from a store with his son when he collapsed Friday on the Malibu street where he lived.
One of Quinn's most memorable roles was as a raspy-voiced soldier named Rhah in the Oscar-winning Vietnam War drama Platoon. He also appeared in the television shows JAG, 24 and The Shield.
His agent, Arlene Thornton, tells the Los Angeles Times that Quinn apparently died of a heart attack but the cause of death hasn't been officially determined.
Quinn's father won two Academy Awards and starred in Lawrence of Arabia.
