Film Editor of Tarantino Dies at 56


The film editor of famed director Quentin Tarantino, Sally Menke, was found dead on Tuesday morning, October 12th. After going out hiking with her dog on Monday in Bronson Canyon, there was no sign of her return. Friends alerted the police and hours of searching began. Her body was later found at the bottom of a ravine, her dog still alive. It is not known whether the extreme heat of the day was a factor of her death or not, and there did not appear to be a jump in deaths on Monday. Expert opinions say that Menke most likely became disoriented and collapsed, the heat contributing to her death. Menke worked on films such as "Pulp Fiction", "Kill Bill", and "Jackie Brown".
