Fagan and Oteri were reportedly roommates.

    How horrific and tragically sad.

  39. Kallie says – reply to this


    39

    A country music songwriter stabbing someone? That just sounds…weird. I'd expect him to use a gun or his horse or something. Also, I don't really see the point in reporting that the murderer wrote country music o_o

    Wow, that is so incredibly sad… Poor Cheri… My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

    Ah that's so sad!!! :( I read about that earlier today-I saw this songwriter perform about a month ago-he seemed so nice and like a real genuine guy-how bizarre!

  48. gardner says – reply to this

    WTF - ROOMMATES? would it kill them to admit they were gay lovers?

    Re: rolo – you're a dumb ass, rolo. what do you mean, "so"? so, a human life was taken. celeb or not, that's still sad. your comment is disrespectful, you moron.

  50. Lisa says – reply to this

    Re: rolo – What do you mean so? I am hoping that you are just a little slow and not actually a cold hearted ass! My prayers are with Ms oteri and her family.

  53. erica says – reply to this


    53

    best of luck to the family.

  54. T.rex says – reply to this


    54

    sure, its sad, but this being a gossip site, what the heck is wrong with Cheri O Teri's face? Has she had work done? I don't even recognize her. It must be a double burn knowing that she and Will Ferrel's career's on SNL took off at the same time, but only one of theirs kept going.

  55. A. says – reply to this


    55

    That's so sad.

    Cheri Oteri has major Courtney Love plastic surgery face now, though.

  56. jj says – reply to this


    56

    I'm just starting to think that the cast of SNL, previous, present and past seemed to be cursed with family heartaches. Hartman, Farley, Radner and others who's names escape me come to mind.

  57. Kate says – reply to this


    57

    Aww, sad and unfortunate! I never watched SNL, but this is a horrible way to die. My thoughts are with her family.

  58. Miss Ellie says – reply to this


    58

    Was it a gay lover's quarrel perhaps?

  59. kathie! says – reply to this

    what the hell, did they live in a hostel?

  60. Meli says – reply to this


    60

    GIBBYWIBBY you should be shot. You are a sick and twisted person. May you be in a tragic accident and be disfigured for life. This is about a person's father being murdered and all you can do is rant about less fortunate people?? Do America a favor and jump off a bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!

    How absolutely horrible…I'm sorry, Cheri…I miss her, actually. She was one of my favorites from "SNL." :(

    63

    they were uh… roomates? ROOMATES?? now c'mon P - i love cheri oteri too, but sounds like it was probably a lover's spat taken way beyond control - so sad. why not tell it like it is?

  64. Neil in Nashville says – reply to this


    64

    The local news here in Nashville said the two had been roommates for 15 years. hmmm…

  65. Randy says – reply to this


    65

    In this country the rule of law says that one is innocent until proven guilty. So while Richard Fagan may well have committed this crime, it has not been proven in a court of law.

  66. mariosmom says – reply to this


    66

    THAT'S Cheri Oteri…????!!!!!!

  67. jenni says – reply to this
