TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report optical observations of GRB 060614 (duration ~100 s) that rule out the presence of an associated supernova, and also show that the properties of the host galaxy (redshift z = 0.125) distinguish it from other long-duration GRB hosts and suggest that an entirely new type of long-lived GRB progenitor may be required.
