Shortly after the unexpected death of the character Logan Roy in the television series "Sucession", the American newspaper Los Angeles Times published an obituary dedicated to the fictional media mogul. The death occurred in episode three that aired on Sunday night, US time. For fans in Europe, however, the broadcast will be delayed and therefore the obituary could reach out before the episode aired.

The rune has been described as iconic by some, but upset others. British newspaper The Independent has shared several comments from fans expressing their anger and disappointment on social media.

Fans spread the article

Speaking out after the spoiler storm, a spokesperson for the LA Times explained that it's understandable that people were saddened but that the editorial team felt the character deserved a proper farewell after the sudden death. The spokesperson said they had done everything they could to avoid spoilers, but that the article spread on social media between fans.
