February 2, 2024: Died Tragically Rescuing His Family From The Wreckage Of A Destroyed Sinking Battleship
I was doing my every-few-years rewatching of The Royal Tenenbaums late last night and long story short a red Adidas track suit is being shipped to the house for Rick.

I don't know if anyone was following this whole Elmo thing on Twitter, but I think it's absolutely hilarious.
