    Death By Jazz

    I'm assuming this counts for Rudy Van Gelder. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/culture-stars-who-died-in-20162/rudy-van-gelder/ Edit: Guardian has a better one now: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/aug/28/rudy-van-gelder-blue-note-records-dead

    Jiří Tichý has died aged 82. Not the best Google Translate, but then it's an article about sport, so I'm guessing the original is a bit scrappy too. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.denik.cz%2Ffotbal%2Fzemrel-stribrny-medailista-z-fotbaloveho-ms-v-chile-jiri-tichy-20160828.html&edit-text=

    Deadpool Detective Work

    So I looked up findagrave and there's a record of a Charles Doyle born 1911 died 1967 buried in Perryville Cemetery, Decatur County, TN. Interestingly, just along the road from Bolivar in Hardeman County. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=doyle&GSby=1911&GSbyrel=in&GSdyrel=all&GSst=45&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=39650526&df=all& Well, well, well...might this be our man? Given there seems to have been incarcerations of the insane and criminals at the hospital in Bolivar, might his grave have been relocated from the hospital cemetery later in the 1960s? All is speculation, but I think we are damn close. Shelby County Registry of Deeds says the Charles Doyle who died in 1967 was white. Ok...can't see that via the link. Maybe therefore our Charles Doyle lies at the Hospital cemetery perhaps in an unmarked grave?

    This link indicates his date of death around 1960, a hospital and county etc. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6ZNfAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA242&dq=little+buddy+doyle+death&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjwlq6xu93OAhWGxRQKHVtbCysQ6AEIOzAE#v=onepage&q=little%20buddy%20doyle%20death&f=false Hope that goes some way...

    Equity Magazine of Autumn 2016 now available online, and the In Memoriam section brings news of the death of Christopher Farries (born Christopher Wood) who played the lead Sea Devil Sauvix in Warriors Of The Deep for Doctor Who. http://www.equity.org.uk/documents/equity-autumn-magazine-2016/ Again, I cannot find a specific obituary for him. Edit: Looks like it was around May/June 2016, according to this sole tweet. https://twitter.com/Zombula/status/738571311874723841
