Literary arts magazine, Tangent dies suddenly

Feb. 2, 2010- Tangent Magazine, who found success on the literary scene in Buffalo, died Saturday after collapsing on the printing press.

Buffalo cops are investigating the premature death of the 2 year old magazine, but a coroner says it appears to have died of natural causes.

Sources say Tangent was under a great deal of stress over the past six months. Several prescription pill bottles were recovered from the magazine's home, including Ambien and Xanax. It is unclear yet if these medications contributed to the magazine's death.

Tangent's family refused to comment, except to say that Tangent was grateful for its fans and loved publishing their work. Says one saddened fan, "Tangent will be greatly missed."
