Longtime Quentin Tarantino editor Sally Menke dead at 56

Some terrible, terrible news for both moviegoers and humanity in general; according to the L.A. Times, Sally Menke, who handled editing duties for all of Quentin Tarantino's films, and was nominated for the Best Achievement in Editing Academy Award for both Inglourious Basterds and Pulp Fiction, was found dead in Beachwood Canyon after going missing yesterday. A cause of death hasn't been confirmed yet, but the Times article seems to suggest the area's extreme heat played a part. I apologize for not figuring out how to embed video yet, but here's Quentin Tarantino praising her phenomenal work.
