It’s being reported – not sure who had the news first – that former governor Kenny Guinn fell of his roof and died earlier today.

Guinn, a Republican who was well liked in the state, was first elected in 1998, then ran for re-election and won in 2002.  He was 73.

Guinn leaves behind his wife, Dema, and two sons.

I’ll update this post with a round-up of statements about the tragedy later today.
