From the Hollywood Reporter:

Tracy Tormé, a UFO expert and son of stylish crooner Mel Tormé who
co-created the 1990s series Sliders and was hand-picked by Gene
Roddenberry to serve as the head writer on Star Trek: The Next
Generation, has died. He was 64.

Tormé died Thursday of complications from diabetes in Escondido,
California, his sister and brother, actress Daisy Tormé (Superman &
Lois) and recording artist James Tormé, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Tormé also was a writer on Saturday Night Live during its eighth season
(1982-83); wrote and produced with Travis Walton the fantasy drama film
Fire in the Sky (1993), starring D.B. Sweeney and Robert Patrick; and
was a consultant on the acclaimed Robert Zemeckis sci-fi drama Contact
(1997).

Torme was not the head writer on TNG. He wrote some episodes in the first
and second seasons, but several were substantially rewritten by head
writer Maurice Hurley to the point that Torme had his name removed and
replaced with pseudonyms. His most lasting contributions to Star Trek are
the character of Lwaxana Troi and the acclaimed episode, "The Big
Goodbye," which is the first episode where the holodeck is the main
setting.
