LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Film producer Gregg Hoffman, who with his partners turned a $1 million horror movie called "Saw" into a $102 million hit, has died at the age of 42, associates said on Tuesday.
Lions Gate Entertainment, which distributed "Saw" and its successor "Saw II," said Hoffman died on Sunday in a Hollywood hospital of natural causes but gave no specifics. An autopsy is planned.
"Saw," financed by Hoffman and his partners at Twisted Pictures, cost about $1 million to make but reaped $102 million worldwide at the box office when it was released in October 2004. The sequel "Saw II" brought in even more earlier this year, and a third movie in the series was in production.
"Saw" is the grisly story of a serial killer called Jigsaw who devises intricate situations to get his victims to kill each other.
Hoffman and his partners independently financed their films which allowed them to reap the profits, a fact that led Hoffman to tell the Los Angeles Times that he had hit the jackpot.
Hoffman "had the uncanny ability to pursue creative and professional endeavors in a collaborative and inspiring fashion, traits all too rare in our industry," said Peter Block, president of production at Lions Gate.
He never saw that coming.
Maybe he scared himself to death...It could happen but one thing is for sure it wasn't because of Saw II...yawn

I liked the first SAW movie and I don't like most movies I see. He must of not completed the life or death mission that was given to him.

Another source say's he was admitted to the hospital after complaining of neck pain. How do you die from pain in the neck?
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
