Transformers’ Voice Peter Cullen Passes Away

Nepal Floods Likely Sparked by Glacier Break

Peter Cullen, the legendary voice actor best known as the voice of Optimus Prime in the Transformers franchise, has died at age 85. TMZ reported that Cullen died on August 26, 2026, at his home in Los Angeles. His agent confirmed the death, though a cause of death was not immediately disclosed. 

A catastrophic flood disaster along the Nepal-China border in the Himalayas has left more than 1,400 people missing and at least 380 to 390 people dead, making it one of the region's worst natural disasters in recent years. Authorities believe the flooding was likely triggered by a glacier collapse or ice-and-rock avalanche high in the mountains. 

The highly watched murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three young children in January 2023, reached a critical stage on August 27, 2026, with closing arguments completed and the case now in the hands of the jury.
