Walter Seltzer, brother of Alka and producer of Godot's favourite film Soylent Green, has died in the US's equivalent of Brinsworth House at the ripe old age of 96.

60s producer David F Friedman has died. Herschell Gordon Lewis is still alive and feasting on Friedman's brains.

I wish my boss had a quarter of Mubarak's understanding and compassion when it comes to dealing with dissent in the ranks... Reports coming in suggest that Mubarak has fallen in to a coma and been airlifted to a hospital in Germany. Like al-Megrahi, he's either seconds from death or doing handsprings along the Sharm el-Sheikh promenade. Thank heavens we don't suffer the same media obfuscation with our own western celebrities like Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Here's a handy plane crash thread that I'm sure can be adapted (and renamed?) for multi-purpose travel disaster use.

Disney animator Bill Justice (Fantasia/Bambi) has died aged 97.

These Englishmen are so keen to keep the ashes. Prescient. His nickname was The Boil.

No surprise, he's gone.

Have they talked about his health in the last couple of weeks? I haven't heard it mentioned, but I haven't been following 24/7 news either. Like Berlusconi and Gaddafi, his hair looks disconcertingly black for an OAP. So vain, these dictators.

Monkees/Archies producer/publisher Don Kirshner dies. Did the Onion's Jackie Harvey write that piece?

Jobs takes 'medical leave'.

Trish Keenan, singer with Broadcast, in hospital with pneumonia. Wiki/twitter is suggesting she's dead.

Audrey's finally sunk.

Two years on, still acting and writing. And not happy with the BBC's upcoming Hattie 'muckraker', in which he's played by John Shuttleworth.

Bullitt/Summer Holiday director Peter Yates has died. Who could forget that dramatic Cliff Richard double decker bus chase around the streets of Frisco.

Pleads guilty, oddly enough. His wish list's back up, if you want to send him Killings: Folk Justice in the Upper South to read at his leisure over the next 40 years. Mind you, four suicide attempts and a hunger strike already...

Mr Chips's finest moment, just before he went blind.

Anyone thinking of a punt on the 90-year-old Duchess of Devonshire might be advised to hold fire, judging by this Newsnight interview (@30 mins).

No longer around.

Looks like that's the end of Ron Santo on my Dream Team with the new rules; unless someone else picks him, he's guaranteed to be worth negative points... although if I had a dream about a dying US baseball or basketball player under the age of 18, I'dve struck gold. So I don't suppose there's any chance that if we submit our team early, we'll still get points if they die before the 25th? Ron Santo's dead. That must give Canadian Paul a chance of the DDP crown, obit pending. Can you dream one up, Paul?

Some news on his health - he's dead. Someone probably stumbled on him accidentally.

Not enough for the Dean of Southwark, apparently. I doubt if Rev Slee requested it for his funeral then.

The aptly-named ex-colleague of Demjanjuk, Samuel Kunz, has avoided his trial by snuffing it.

She did.

He might be spared or he might die of natural causes before they get round to it. The DL committee could have its cake and eat it too.
