The man who killed Tasha Yar on Star Trek The Next Generation passed away on the 25th of August. Not the actor, the writer. Joseph Stefano was also responsible for the death of Janet Leigh at the hands of Anthony Perkins in Psycho.
It's a testament to the man's craft that he was nominated for a Saturn Award for his screenplay for Psycho- the remake in 1998, since they used his script from the original Hitchcock version.
He was also awarded the Life Career Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Horror Films.

Did he die from being consumed by a large oil slick for no reason or purpose at all?.... Poetic...
