All tragic and such, but what does her death announcement do in the ALS thread? She did not suffer from ALS but a different degenerative muscle desease. This all would fit better in the "Olympic deaths" thread.

Clothing chain Forever 21 is filing for chapter11. Closing over 350 stores in 40 countries. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5d91585ce4b0ac3cddaa9b7a

A woman in Australia was killed by a rooster who didn't want her to reap his offspring. https://www.ad.nl/buitenland/agressieve-haan-doodt-bejaarde-vrouw-76-die-eieren-wilde-rapen~a7fff544/

This crash was filmed no doubt with a lot of cameras. The TV cameras, there must be serveying cameras along the track and on top of that all cars were equiped with multiple cameras. So the cause of the crash can be viewed from multiple angles. And track officials and authorities will no doubt view them, but we, Joe Public, will never see them. And quite understandably.

Her wrong birth year is wide spread on the internet. It's 1980, not 1983, which makes her 39 years old .

True giant who gave the world the Porsche 917 and Audi Quattro.

Voice actress Russi Taylor died at the age of 75. She was the the official voce of Minni Mouse. Her husband, who diede in 2009 was the voice of Mickey Mouse. That must have been some interesting conversations on the breakfast table.

A Dutch cyclist died in Germany when he was hit by a car. That's not an unusual way to die, happens elsewhere too. But this car was.... unoccupied. The woman driving the car forgot to pull the handbrake and since the car was parked on an incline, it started rolling. A 100 meters down the road the unlucky Bastard on two wheels met with the combination of inertia and gravity.....

All around nice chap and race legend Jackie Stewart's wife is suffering from Dementia. Was known before but now an awareness campaign is started.

Bob Olodort, the inventor of the label printer and portable keyboard, dies

Damn... Such a nice guy. He lived close to where I live. Already died last Friday. The burial has already been done. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. Farewell Roy Batty.

Woman dies having sex on the windowsill and falling from the 9th floor. The real story is how her partner survived and partied on after the fall.....

Fun read.

So close..... She didn't die but it was a close one. A gun activist who runs a facebook site on gun sense faces a second-degree misdemeanor charge for not properly storing her (legally owned) gun. Her four-year old son got a hold of it on the back seat of her car and shot her by accident... Edit: Dammit, it was an old article. Sorry about that, but it she deserved some karma points. The reason for posting this was that this article was at the bottom of another sad story about domestic violence. A woman in an (ending) abusive relationship faces burglary charges. Her husband was in jail due to the fact he tried to run her over with a car. She feared for her life, and the lives of her children given his violence and abuse towards her. While he was in jail, a judge granted her a temporary restraining order against her hisband, and "as part of the pre-trial release conditions, Joseph Irby was ordered not to use, possess or carry any weapons or ammunition." So, knowing he owned these guns, while he was in jail, she took his guns and immediately brought them to the police for safekeeping, so that he wouldn't have access to them once he got out of jail. Read the rest of the story here.

What a miss for the top50!
