Anthropologist, author and activist David Graeber dies, aged 59
THE anthropologist, author and anarchist David Graeber died aged 59 on Wednesday, his partner Nika Dubrovsky announced on Twitter today.
“Yesterday the best person in a world, my husband and my friend died in a hospital in Venice,” Ms Dubrovsky announced.
The cause of death was unknown, but Graeber had tweeted in August that he had “been sick for a month” with an illness that caused a “weird soapy taste in my mouth, exhaustion, stomach [and] lung-ache.”
