Former MLB outfielder and three-time World Series champion Terrance Gore died at the age of 34, according to Major League Baseball officials. The news was announced alongside reports of other significant events, including the resignation of Washington Post chief executive Will Lewis following mass layoffs and the death of 3 Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold.
Gore, a Georgia native, played in parts of eight big league seasons, five of which were with the Kansas City Royals. He was drafted by the Royals in the 2011 MLB Draft out of Gulf Coast State College in Florida. The cause of his death has not yet been revealed. "We are heartbroken from the loss of Terrance Gore, and send our love to his family and loved ones," the Royals said in a statement shared by CBS News.
In other news, the chief executive of the Washington Post, Will Lewis, stepped down after the newspaper announced mass layoffs. According to BBC World, Lewis stated that it was the right time to leave, citing "difficult decisions" made to ensure the paper's future. The newspaper had announced it was cutting a third of its workforce, significantly reducing its coverage of sports and international news. The decision drew criticism from many journalists and sparked criticism of the Post's owner, Jeff Bezos.
Additionally, 3 Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold died at 47 after a battle with cancer, the band announced on X. Arnold had announced in May 2025 that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 clear cell renal carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer that had metastasized into his lung. "He will be deeply missed and forever remembered," the band said in a statement, as reported by BBC World. Arnold had expressed disappointment that the band would have to cancel an upcoming tour.
Meanwhile, the Iberian peninsula faced another challenge as Storm Marta battered Portugal and Spain, just days after deadly floods. Both countries issued warnings over potential fresh floods, after inundations blocked hundreds of roads, disrupted trains, and forced thousands to evacuate, according to Euronews. The storm prompted the deployment of more than 26,500 rescuers in Portugal, where the weather led three municipalities to postpone Sunday's presidential vote.
In sports, Lindsey Vonn took to the slopes for a final training run ahead of Sunday's Olympic race event, despite rupturing her left ACL in a World Cup race in the Swiss Alps a week prior. Vonn confirmed the severity of her injury in a social media response, stating, "My ACL was fully functioning until last Friday. Just because it seems impossible to you doesn't mean it's not possible. And yes, my ACL is 100 ruptured. Not 80 or 50. It's 100 gone," as reported by CBS News.
