From I.M.D.B.David Mills, writer of the best shows on television—The Wire, Homicide: Life on the Street, and the upcoming Treme—died last night of a brain aneurysm at the age of 48.

Mills’ death comes on the heels of that of New Orleans musician and Treme star Bernard "Bunchy" Johnson, who died of a heart attack on March 21. We can only assume that the pilot will be dedicated to both their memories.
