But no more: they just announced during the Players Championship that Olly Croft is dead at 90.

Christian Edwards, one-time Welsh international (for two minutes), has suffered a heart attack while taking training with Cardiff Met Uni this morning. He took them into the Europa League last season.

Lauch Faircloth, former one-term senator from North Carolina, is 91. I only bring his name up as one of interest as he's the man who tried to get Microsoft Solitaire banned.

Lil Reese in critical condition after being shot in the neck.

God I hate this thread's title. Anyway, Noel Ignatiev, writer of How the Irish Became White, one of the key "destroy whiteness" texts, has died. He was the only man in the world who had an anti-semitic toaster.

It's that guy who regularly does hoaxes for writers dying... he killed off Harper Lee early (and someone else as well. Don DeLillo?)

Naive artist Helen LaFrance turned 100 last week, and got an Associated Press story to mark the occasion. Presumably this means she's guaranteed a QO when she goes...
