Well,it looks like the Reaper is back to work in the New Year. His first notable victim - Carl Weathers. That's right - Apollo Creed himself is the Reaper's latest victim. Though he died of unknown causes,he did die peacefully in his sleep, according to Family. He was 76.
Carl Weathers is best known as the actor who played Apollo Creed in the Rocky Films,though he did plenty of other stuff too (both major and minor). Before he entered the realm of acting,Carl was a Football player - for both in the Collage and Professional Leagues.

His death was so sudden. I will remember him not just as Apollo Creed, but also Dillon from Predator and as Action Jackson. Apollo's death in Rocky IV has become even more harsher in hindsight. He will be missed and he will keep on punching. Godspeed.
