[quote:Anonymous Coward 77766675:MV80MTQxMjQ1Xzc1MjI3MjY4XzQ0Q0M4Mg==] I had a really cool encounter with Ric in early 2000’s. I was staying at a hotel on South Beach Miami in the winter for work. Everyday I would see this tall, pale lanky man walk by to the coffee shop. One day I decided I wanted to meet this odd looking person in a sea of tan bodies out there, he really stuck out! So I walked up to him and said “hi you look like an interesting person I just wanted to meet you.” He introduced himself as Ric Ocasek and asked me if I had ever heard of The Cars the band? Of course! I introduced myself and he asked me if I wanted to walk over to the hotel he was working at, it was a recording studio in the hotel. Really cool hotel, so we get to the studio and he introduces me to Weazer Band who he was producing on their album. Hung out will they played music for a while. He was super nice! That was it, I had to get to work, I thanked him for a cool time and left. RIP Ric. [/quote]

Police said they received a call around 4 p.m. for an unconscious male at a townhouse on East 19th Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Law enforcement sources confirmed the deceased was Ocasek.
