    Skinner is an old school socialist, seems the type that would refuse a knighthood if offered one, the type that would want the entire honours system scrapped altogether 

     

    I would not be surprised if he was offered and said no

    Tony Renna's fatal crash at a testing session at Indy never was released as there were no professional camera people or television filming as it happened as well.


    I wouldn’t want to see any footage of De Ferran’s last moments on track but by all accounts from what i have read on social media he went quickly and didn’t suffer much, was unconscious seconds after he parked the car

    At least he died of natural causes instead of traumatic injuries in an accident, which happens in auto racing at times, unfortunately.


    True, no footage but reminds me of Denny Hulme at Bathurst, knew was having a medical emergency and pulled to the side of the track

    Not a sniff but those obituaries came remarkably fast given how detailed they all were. Either the news was given by the family with an embargo for 5.00pm or it was a well kept secret.


    The news channels and papers pre prepare obituaries on every living celeb, they have a huge database of obituaries pre prepared incase that person dies

    Some speculation that Eamon Holmes is cutting his GB news working days down to three days a week. Health concerns? 


    From what I understand he has severe back/mobility issues, I think he will live for another 15-20 years unless there are any conditions he has kept private

    Selfish how? I can't imagine having a vegetable for a husband is in any way rewarding or fulfilling. And how is his condition earning her any money whatsoever? She'd surely have more if he'd had the plug pulled a decade ago. Perhaps you could call it a selfish form of devotion, a forlorn grasp for a miracle, but it surely comes from a place of love. Absolutely tragic situation for the entire family.


    The latter, the devotion part, she seems to be clearly in denial and thinks he will get better, sadly it won’t happen

    2003 Indianapolis 500 champion Gil de Ferran has passed away at 56.


    Truly shocked at this, I guess the only consolation is he died doing what he loved and died in his racing suit, gloves, and boots as opposed to dying in a bed of a terminal disease

     

    Met him at Goodwood once, lovely chap

     

    RIP

    The King seems to be quite disliked, I guess making the estranged son (who might've lived a somewhat normal life) his heir would be an attempt to save the monarchy? Prince Dipangkorn (the youngest son) is said to have an intellectual disability.

     

    There's going to be a lot of Thai royals dying the next few years. Half of them seem very ill...

     


    The Thai constitution says that only a man can have the throne, the current king is a pervert and sexual deviant but he can only be succeeded by a male, his sister has almost Diana levels of worship out there but can never hold power

    Is he unwell? He's still attending matches isn't he?


    He was in the middle east recently, looked fit as a fiddle, I think those that include him will do so because his wife recently died and he die of a broken heart, not impossible but he looked very healthy for his age, able to fly etc, he shouldn’t be in the 50

    I’m glad Celine is doing okay, it can’t be any life for her though. As for Lucy Letby, I hope she lives a long and miserable life. 


    Same, if Myra Hindley had been hanged she would have faced 10 secs of pain, instead in her final years she was screaming with cancer and coughing her guts up with COPD, a living hell, the thought of her suffering a living hell was great, hopefully Letby the same, death penalty too quick

    I'll spoil it - they will tell you nothing new. Nothing's come out for years upon years, why now?

     

    But, based on my friend with F1 connections... Schumacher is a vegetable, to put it quite bluntly. No idea why he's been kept alive, at considerable expense no less.


    Heard similar, my then friend no longer works in F1 but he said basically the same, bed/wheelchair bound, fed through tubes, can’t talk, paralysed from neck down, minimal levels of consciousness/awareness, can do nothing for himself, I haven’t spoken to him in 6 years but doubt any improvements have happened

    Denis Law

    Drake Bell - I know that he's young but he has multiple legal issues and I imagine he's not in a good place currently

    Paul Gascoigne

    Cher

    Patrick Murray

    Amy Dowden

    Sophia Loren

    Maria Branyas - just too old

    Johnny Mathis - I thought he was already dead


    Denis Law pretty much nailed on, Patrick Murray too

     

    No chance of Gazza, by all accounts he has given up drinking, of course his liver may give up from previous drinking but I think he has at least another 10 years left

    If there was any improvements in him since the accident the family would be shouting it from the rooftops, the harsh reality is there will have been none, he is either in a coma or a vegetable, no quality of life whatsoever, it would have been far better to have pulled the plugs 10 years ago in hospital and let him die with dignity than linger on with no quality Of life, pure selfishness from Corrina imho 

     

    A majestic athlete, probably physically fittest man on the planet when he was a driver, reduced to a drooling wheelchair bound vegetable because the family won’t accept closure

    I mean, he kind of has been in a continual turn for the worse for a long time now. He might keep on for a little while longer, but there wouldn't be any surprise at all if he died before the end of the year without any further statement from the family or something.


    i think he will see out the year and go in Spring 24, Frank Field has been in a hospice for coming on 2 years but is still plugging away, big difference in age of course

    Tom Brokaw - News anchor - battling Multiple Myeloma

    Shannen Doherty - Actress - cancer

    Bruce Willis - Die Hard Actor - progressive FTD

    Celine Dion - Titanic singer - Stiff muscle syndrome, reported she no longer has control of her muscles

     


    Bruce Willis 100%, might just linger to start of 25 but he should be an absolute shoe in for the committee, top 20

     

    My grandfather died of FTD and it happened 5 years after clear symptoms, very fast and aggressive towards the end. Willis been getting his lines mixed up for like 7 years
