Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott of heavy metal band Damageplan, and formerly of Pantera, was gunned down last night at a show in Columbus, Ohio. The gig was part of the band's perhaps unfortunately titled "Devastation Across The Nation" tour. At least four other less famous people were also killed. http://www.antimusic.com/news/04/dec/item07.shtml

Grave-ready?

BBC News online is reporting Molly Weir as dead (More Soon). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0918620/ The BBC says she was 94, IMDB have her down as born in 1920, so someone's not right.

Can I nominate "everyone who works in marketing"? As Bill Hicks quoth: My, what a lot of profanity.

When it comes to Tories, there no such thing as a premature death.

Nice cock.

And I was hoping he'd go after contracting AIDS from buggering a choirboy without a condom. Oh well, good riddance to the poisonous piece of sh*t, eh?

I'd also question the line.

Sorry, who are we talking about again?

Murdered by a German taxi driver?

That's a goatse-face if ever I've seen one.

snicker snicker. Isn't this getting slightly Off-Topic?

Suicide n.: The act or an instance of intentionally killing oneself. I'd say it does. Any information on why his last attempt at hunger strike didn't work? Were his demands met, or did he simply get a bit peckish?

As I recall, Carlos is a rather portly figure, so as long as he's taking in fluids he could easily carry on for a while yet. He'll probably undergo a fair bit of muscle wastage and suffer illnesses related to lack of vitamins, but he should easily make it into 2005.

Apart from The Beastie Boys[1] who are famous for being ill, or so I'm told. [1] Feel free to replace with a more relevant cultural figure.

But had any of us heard of him before he'd got ill? Could you name any other BBC online journalists? I don't think so. Another case of only-famous-because-he's-about-to-croak I think.
