Recently Dead

Music publisher Gaetano Oteri, the father of former SNL star Cheri Oteri, was stabbed to death last week by his roommate, country songwriter Richard Fagan. He was 69. Fagan, 61, known for writing the hit song "Be My Baby Tonight," cut Oteri's wrist with a pocket knife during an argument. Both men were drunk when it happened. Fagan fled the scene, but was later arrested and jailed on suspicion of DUI. While in jail, he called a friend to check on Oteri. At the house, the friend saw through a screen door that something was wrong and called the police, who found Oteri's body and blood inside. (ZAP2it; photo: Film Magic via TMZ)
