Kirk Douglas you can die now if you want, People magazine already published.

It's not clear when the obituary draft was actually posted on People's website (the magazine has a habit of backdating "DO NOT PUB" pieces), but it appears they've been ready for Douglas to kick the bucket since at least September.

The obit was still up on their website Sunday, but [put joke here] TK.

DO NOT PUB.

Update: The piece is down now but you can still read about Douglas's noble death here.
