There is an unconfirmed report, based on a Twitter posting, that director Peter Clifton, who co-directed the Led Zeppelin documentary 'The Song Remains the Same', recently died. No corroborating evidence just yet. However, the recent confirmation of the death of actor Robert Mandan came about a week after a tweet was sent by a friend noting his passing. http://ledzepnews.com/2018/06/17/director-peter-clifton-who-worked-on-the-song-remains-the-same-has-reportedly-died/

That's partly my bad and partly the fault of the stories written about him. When I first posted the info, I definitely read the age of the deceased as '55' and cross-referenced it to the Wikipedia page. Even here, for example, we have a Facebook post from the Toronto Star that appears to have corrected some of the original info, but not all of it. Notice the story indicates he's 61 but the caption under the picture says he's 55. A genuine curio considering the name is the same and so is the occupation.

I am not at liberty to say (but you wouldn't want to make Sir Creep mad).

It would appear not to have been a pet snake. I would, however, think that being ingested by the snake was at least a contributing factor to her death, even if not the specific causal factor.

The only determining factor for me on whether to post is fame. If the individual was well enough known, regardless of age, I have no issues posting it. In this case, he received a BBC obituary.
