Michael VerMeulen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael VerMeulen (10 December 1956 - August 28, 1995) was an American magazine editor.
Born in Chicago, VerMeulen was a freelance journalist at several magazines including Vanity Fair and Parade before joining British GQ in 1988 as its founding features editor. In the same year he became engaged to author and journalist Antonella Gambotto. VerMeulen was promoted within GQ to deputy editor in 1990 and to editor in 1992, turning the magazine into a runaway success and becoming a minor celebrity in the process.
VerMeulen died of a drug overdose in London, while in an ambulance en route to hospital. A coroner's inquest found over two and a half times the lethal dose of cocaine in his system. An account of his death was written by his fiancee in her book The Eclipse.
