Here's a major one for us in India: Saroj Khan, major movie choreographer, dead at 71. She choreographed more than 2000 songs for Hindi movies during her career. https://www.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/celebrities/breaking-saroj-khan-is-dead-at-72-mumbai-hospital-cardiac-arrest-631177

Neither of these are going anytime soon - I saw the Happy Mondays before Christmas and then went to An Evening with Shaun Ryder in January - Bez’s knees are shot to fuck and Shaun looks like a bag of shite but neither looked 2020-pointsworthy.

2020 death confirmed then.

So I was thinking about "Back to the Future" the other day and wanted to dig into the lives, and deaths, of the cast. It's probably my all time favourite movies and they're starting to become classics. Let's start off with the first movie. I'll finish the 2nd and 3rd movie some other day. If anyone wants to contribute - be my guest! Also, I've marked some names with a [!] since IMDB and Wikipedia doesn't have info on age or death. Back to the Future I MAIN CAST: Michael J.

Twitter has been full of tweets about Louis Mahoney, and there’s been a small amount of talk about Latham including someone claiming Toby Hadoke confirmed it. As far as I can see Hadoke hasn’t mentioned it, and he has yet to receive an obit on any news sites. Maybe they’re anxious about getting it wrong but I doubt we will get any further confirmation of his death. For an actor who was in Doctor Who, Hammer Horror etc you’d expect an obit wouldn't you?

150 ahead of Suicidal Saturday or whatever they're calling it.

Torva Messor A Global Affair Hugh Downs Nehemiah Persoff Miiko Taka A first hit here for @Torva Messor with Hugh Downs

Judith Durham is 77 today

His brother was obviously frail for a very long time, that's him sitting right to Benedict at his 90th birthday (Benedict was obviously in better health then): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxf1vihTSo8 But since they share a lot of the same genes it could mean that Benedict could also survive with frail health for a long time. Benedict in 2020 does not look yet as bad as his brother three years ago.

The passing of the late, great Hugh Downs gives me 9 hits (1 was a wildcard) so far this year. @Clorox Bleachman

Yeah, he is a single hit for you! Edit: And there was another hit on July 1st: Everton Weekes for Bibliogyphon, Deathray, nantonian2013 and Sean. Next update will come with the next hit.

Tami Lynn, who hit #4 in the UK in June 1971 with I'm Gonna Run Away From You, reportedly dead: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/news-soul/tami-lynn-rip-r4264/ The song was re-released in 1975, reaching a fairly mediocre #36 in May of that year.

I do agree with this but if the government were actually honest with the numbers of cases, deaths and testing perhaps people would take it a bit more seriously. The public do have to take responsibility but when they see cunts like Cummings doing what he likes and Johnson et al fudging the figures, it’s no wonder people think fuck this I’m off to the beach.

Wow. I didn't expect to get Hugh Downs. Rest In Peace Hugh Downs.

If he didn't had children, he would be a candidate for a Darwin award. Attending a rally for Trump, knowing full well AS A DOCTOR that this virus was everywhere. Hope the fucker suffers, he deserves it.

She'll make a run for the nearest yacht and fall into the sea

There's a good chance that this will be my last obit for a while, as I got some IRL stuff coming up soon. Although if more hits come during July, I should be back to writing obituaries by August or September...

Happy 86th birthday to Jamie Farr and to Jean Marsh

He used to talk quite normally until the day Corbett Snr's hand first went where it shouldn't have. Now all he can do is whisper into a police victim support officer's ear. It's all very sad, really.

I'd vote to keep him in the jungle and then napalm the final show.

NO, the guy is a danger not just to America, to the world

Hours before committing suicide, Byron proposed to his ex-girlfriend (that he hadn't seen in 6 months) via Twitter. She didn't see the tweets until it was too late. https://people.com/human-interest/byron-reckful-bernstein-dies-at-31/
