Scott Wampler, the co-host of the popular podcast Kingcast about the works of Stephen King, has died.

Co-host Eric Vespe announced the news on social media, describing Wampler as a ‘singular presence’.

At this stage no further details have been given, but his death was thought to have been ‘sudden’.

‘Scott Wampler passed away today. He was my friend, co-host, and partner in crime. I’m still in shock. I don’t know many details, but I know it was sudden and he was with friends,’ Eric said on X.

‘I don’t know what to say right now other than he was a singular presence. Hunter Thompson would have called him “one of God’s own prototypes, a high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.” That’s the Scott I knew. Hilarious, infuriating, singular.’
