Famed snowboarder Luke 'The Dingo' Trembath dead at 38; tributes from Tony Hawk, others pour in
Trembath became a professional snowboarder at the age of 17 after competing since he was just nine years old.
A cause of death has not been revealed.
The Australian native received numerous tributes upon the news, including one from the legendary skateboarder, Tony Hawk.
"Thank you for some of the best times, the best laughs and now the best memories. We love you for ever and ever. Words cannot describe the joy this guy brought to every gathering," Hawk wrote in a social media post. "His laughter was magically contagious, and he revered our culture because he was shaped by it. Thank you Dingo for being The Great Connector in our fragmented world. We were lucky to have you. The void you leave behind cannot be filled."
"The Dingo" hosted a podcast with his old TV mate, Danny Kass and former UFC ring girl Brittney Palmer; the gang's latest episode was released just this week.
"Some people come into your life and leave a mark that lasts forever. They're the ones who radiate happiness, positivity, adventure and truly making everyone feel special," Palmer wrote on Instagram. "Dingo was that incredible person. This loss hits differently. I'm so thankful for the time I got to work with him, share advice, travel, and just be in his amazing presence. It was truly an honor. Please, hug your loved ones tight. Dingo knew how much I loved him, and I felt his love in return. This is devastating, and it's a loss that's hard to comprehend. Rest in peace, my dear friend Dingo. I'll love you forever."
Monster Energy, who sponsored the snowboarder, issued a statement of their own.
"Our Monster family is heartbroken today, and we honor the legendary Luke 'The Dingo' Trembath. His unparalleled passion and energy were infectious, lighting up everything he touched. We'll forever remember his iconic laugh, his love for racing suits, and his genuine ability to connect with everyone he met. Here's to you Dingo, you'll be deeply missed and forever remembered."

WWE icon Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71. The news was first reported by TMZ on Thursday, July 24. WWE confirmed the news. "WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away," the company said in a statement.

The Clearwater Police Department in Florida said in a statement it responded to a medical call at a residence on Clearwater Beach at 9:51 a.m. for a reported cardiac arrest. Fire and police personnel responded to the scene and he was treated at the scene before he was taken to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Dog Owner Checks Doorbell Camera at 3am, Unprepared for What She Sees
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When Aileigh checked her door camera in the early hours of the morning, she wasn't prepared for what she saw—her dog sitting outside staring at the door. Aileigh, 26, from Ontario, Canada, shared the footage of her 5-year-old Australian shepherd Nash to TikTok after realizing her mistake. "We realized he was outside shortly after the video was captured on the doorbell camera," Aileigh, who didn't give a surname, told Newsweek. She clarified: "It wasn't all night, but he was definitely outside for a few hours and sat there patiently." In a video that has now gained more than 1.2 million views on Instagram since being shared earlier this week, Aileigh said: "What's your favorite horror movie? Oh Idk... Probably the time I left my dog out all night and he sat by the door waiting the whole time." The video showed Nash, brightened up by porch light and quietly waiting for his owner to return. Thankfully, it wasn't too long until his owner came to the rescue. Pictures of Nash from the security camera in the early hours.

"Sometimes we become so used to our routines we can go on autopilot, especially when extra tired or not feeling the best." Nash took the mishap in his stride, unfazed and tail wagging the next day. "I was so grateful that he was okay, and felt so guilty, he was just excited about the extra attention he got the next day," his owner said. When she posted the video, Aileigh had only 180 followers and didn't expect anyone to really see it. But instead, it gained viral attention, and the comments were mixed. While some people saw the light-hearted nature of the moment, others were upset about the idea of Nash being left outside alone. "How do you forget your dog is outside?" said one viewer. While another dog owner shared their own similar story: "I left my blind senior dog outside in the rain for 3 hours once," they admitted. "For months after I woke up in cold sweats crying." Aileigh said she was surprised by the responses online, and that it revealed just how quickly things can be taken out of context online. "What I thought would just be a small, lighthearted trend among friends ended up getting over a million views. I didn't expect it to spark so much discussion, and while some of the feedback was harsh, and many went way too far," she said. "At the same time, it was an honest mistake and my dog is very loved and well cared for. The video wasn't meant to cause concern." This isn't the first time a dog on camera has caused a surprise. In Oklahoma German shepherd-boxer mix Hazel gave her owner a surprise when she let herself through the door like a human. While another pet owner checked the camera while their dog was home alone, only to be surprised by the pup having snuck onto the couch.
