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 the passing of 3 Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold, who died at 47 after battling cancer, and the resignation of Washington Post chief executive Will Lewis, following mass layoffs at the newspaper.
Gore, drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 2011, was known for his speed on the base paths. He played in parts of eight big league seasons, five of which were with the Royals. "We are heartbroken from the loss of Terrance Gore, and send our love to his family and loved ones," said a statement shared by the Royals, according to CBS News. The cause of Gore's death has not yet been revealed.
Arnold, the lead singer and songwriter of the rock band 3 Doors Down, died after a battle with stage 4 clear cell renal carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer that had metastasized into his lung. The band announced his death on X, stating, "He will be deeply missed and forever remembered." Arnold had announced his illness in May 2025, expressing disappointment over the cancellation of an upcoming tour. The band is best known for their 2000s rock hits, including "Kryptonite," "Here Without You," "When I'm Gone," and "Loser," according to BBC World.
Meanwhile, Will Lewis stepped down as chief executive of The Washington Post, days after overseeing mass layoffs at the newspaper. In a message to staff, Lewis said it was the right time to leave and that "difficult decisions" had been made to ensure the paper's future. The newspaper announced it was cutting a third of its workforce, dramatically scaling back its coverage of sport and international news, a decision that was condemned by many journalists and prompted criticism of the Post's billionaire owner, Jeff Bezos, according to BBC World.
