Sad news.

The father of Saturday Night Live alum Cheri Oteri was stabbed to death this past weekend by a country music songwriter.

On Monday, police charged Richard William Fagan for the criminal homicide of Gaetano Thomas Oteri.

Fagan and Oteri were reportedly roommates.

No other information has been released.

Our thoughts are with the Oteri family.

      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

      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!

      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.

      best of luck to the family.

      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

      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.

      Was it a gay lover's quarrel perhaps?

      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.
