The retired CEO of online retailer Zappos, visionary entrepreneur and advocate for Las Vegas’ downtown revitalization, died on Friday at the age of 46.
According to a statement from Hsieh’s DTP company, he died as a result of injuries he sustained during a house fire on November 18th in New London , Connecticut.
The New London fire chief said he was unable to confirm the identity of the victim in a November 19th fire out of respect for the family and that there is no new information to share about the cause of the blaze.
The incident is still under investigation.
Hsieh’s death has impacted so many around the world for his innovative workplace culture at Zappos, his “Delivering Happiness” model, his goal to revitalize downtown Las Vegas and his brilliance, creativity and generosity.
#SelenaGomez
The Peacock streaming service is apologizing to the singer for a “Saved by the Bell” episode that referenced Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant in a brief scene.
In the episode, two Bayside High students get their phones taken away and lose their internet access. The students argue over who donated a kidney to the singer in 2017.
They can’t agree on whether it was Justin Bieber’s mother or Demi Lovato, when it was actually her friend Francia Raisa.
In another scene, there is a graffitied school wall that says, “Does Selena Gomez even have kidneys?”
The network released a statement that says, “It was never our intention to make light of Selena’s health. We have been in touch with her team and will be making a donation to her charity, The Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research at USC.”
