"I’ve always been aware of being a big boy — aware of my weight and looking at going on diets." Perhaps he should stop "looking" at diets and start implementing one? Got to admit, I have a soft spot for Biggins. Wouldn't like to see him go this soon. He ought to take care and slim down a bit.

U.S. Navy vice admiral Raymond E. Peet (wiki) dead at 100. Fought in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Yep, loads of FB tributes. Surely the Hollywood Reporter will cover.

Oldest country singers/musicians following the recent deaths of Don Maddox (b. 1922) and Sue Thompson (b. 1925)? Violet Hensley (b. 1916) Bill Pitman (b. 1920) Mervin Shiner (b. 1921) Rose Lee Maphis (b. 1922) Bill Hayes (b. 1925) Ray "Chubby" Howard (b. 1926) Bud Wendell (b. 1927) executive Bud Duncan of the Maddox Brothers and Rose (b.

Jon Gregory (wiki), British film editor who was nominated for an Academy Award for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) dead at 77. Also editor on Four Wedding and a Funeral (1994) and In Bruges (2008). Hollywood Reporter obit. Edit: Guardian QO

He was very invested in her business. Couple of fraudsters. At least she can use her “gift” to talk to him on the other side.

Merci. Who’s after him, Tony Bennett and Ed Ames?

Comment on a FB post. Can’t find it now (there are 2000+ comments on it).

His son is the actor Derek Riddell (b. 1967, wiki) of No Angels, Doctor Who, Ugly Betty, Silent Witness etc. His wife was Scottish stage actress Hope Ross (IMDb), who also had recurring roles in Taggart. She died on 24 October 2018, as per this tweet from her son:

Sue Thompson confirmed dead at 96. I believe she was the oldest living artist to have had a hit in the U.S. Hot 100.

Daily Mail QO for Andrea Martin. Still no cause given but she's getting a lot of coverage, likely because of how relatively fresh a lot of these huge hits are in people's minds.

Ok, so the lists for oldest living baseball players, Catholic bishops/cardinals, U.S. Governors, and U.S. Cabinet members have just been deleted too. U.S. Senators and U.S. House of Representatives members are nominated too and look set to go. The UK Prime Ministers one survived the chop because enough users spoke out against its deletion. I imagine cricketers and professional wrestlers will be next though. Maybe world leaders and monarchs too. These lists can, thankfully, be pulled back up if you Google them because there are carbon copies of Wiki under other names, but they won’t be available that way forever. I would suggest someone creates a thread for “masterlists” and copies them there so we can keep track of individuals that way and update ourselves. I’m already maintaining dozens of lists on here and I don’t really want to add too much to that load. Anyone want to volunteer, or alternatively we could split them amongst users so ppl take 1 or 2 each and we just manage them centrally in the same thread? Or should they go in the thread relevant to the topic itself (problem with that being we can’t always pin them to page one, and so they inevitably get buried in random pages over time). Thoughts?

82 year old American singer-songwriter David Allan Coe (wiki) survives a hospitalisation with COVID-19, despite having underlying health conditions. He was vaccinated and that was likely the defining difference.

Don't think he's the sort to top himself. Too much pride.

She does, but given that there’s not a single line on Barry Cryer’s face, I think a very effective filter has been used to take the photo!

Local press coverage.

He appears on the List of deaths due to COVID-19 (wiki), and that's what I went off of by tapping in "cardinal" in the search function. Now that I look, you may be right. The news reports I can find just say "from an illness", so perhaps it was rumoured online or maybe it appeared in initial reports then it was contracted?

Frances Farenthold (wiki), American Democratic politician and attorney who served as a member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1969 to 1973, dead from complications of Parkinson's disease, just short of her 95th birthday. Washington Post obituary. Notable for coming second place in the delegate ballot for Vice President nomination at the 1972 Democratic National Convention. The results of that ballot were: winner: Thomas Eagleton (1929–2007) 2nd Frances Farenthold (1926–2021) 3rd Mike Gravel (1930–2021) 4th Endicott Peabody (1920–1997) 5th Clay Smothers (1935–2004) 6th Birch Bay (1928–2019) 7th Peter W. Rodino (1909–2005) 8th Jimmy Carter (1924–2024) 9th Shirley Chisholm (1924–2005) 10th Moon Landrieu (1930–2022) 11th Ned Breathitt (1924–2003) 12th Ted Kennedy (1932–2009) 13th Fred R. Harris (1930–2024) 14th Richard G. Hatcher (1933–2019) 15th Harold Hughes (1922–1996) 16th Joseph Montoya (1915–1978) 17th/18th William L. Guy (1919–2013) 17th/18th Adlai Stevenson III (1930–2021) 19th Robert Bergland (1928–2018) 20th Hodding Carter (1907–1972) died months prior but still received 5 votes Farenthold, Gravel and Stevenson all gone this year. Jimmy Carter determined to outlive every other notable political name of his era it would seem.

Inevitable but at least he got nearly 96 full years of life unlike many who get buggered by COVID. I make that 4 cardinals who have died from the virus now; Jose Falcão (95), Jorge Urosa Savino (79), Christian Tumi (90), and Eusébio Scheid (88). Willing to bet there have been more and their cause of death wasn't detailed with news of their passing.

Official cause of death for Michael K. Williams released as an overdose of a combination of heroin, cocaine, fentanyl and p-fluorofentanyl.

Bobby Zarem (wiki), publicist to countless Hollywood stars, dead at 84. Hollywood Reporter obit. Clients included Dustin Hoffman, Cher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Michael Douglas, Michael Caine, Sophia Loren, Ann-Margret and Alan Alda.

Ah, so it is true then. I suspected it was just a Wiki hoax. FB post reporting the death of country singer Sue Thompson (wiki), aged 96 (there are many others reporting it on there too though): "My long time dear friend, Sue Thompson was such a wonderful talented singer, and an even nicer person. She passed away last night. Thursday 9/23. She was born Eva Sue McKee, on July 19, 1925, in Nevada, Missouri. She was 96. I'm so very sad to hear about this, because I will miss her so very much. What a wonderful career she had too. So many favorite songs. Here's my Sue Thompson scrapbook. Sue & Julie, sent many wonderful things for it, and I've known them for the past 14 years. I first got a Christmas card from Sue, in 2007. We have been close friends ever since, Sue was such a very dear and special person to me. Her daughter Julie Jennings, is a wonderful kind lady also." QO chances? Hmmm...
