Poet Jim Carroll, author of "The Basketball Diaries," died Friday at the age of 60 from a heart attack.
Carroll's career as a poet, autobiographer, and punk musician brought his eclectic mix of art to the New York art scene. Quite often, his true life experiences with drugs found its way into his writing. Reports say Carroll died while writing at his desk.
