Being as this cat's now the internet handwringing topic of choice, he's in a bunch of DDP teams, there's some discussion about him on this site already, and he's an all-round pretty wacky character, I feel he deserves his own thread. Use it to rehash the same pro/anti Kony viral campaign arguments you've been churning out on Facebook these past two days.

Divine died today in 1988. By the end of his career he actively hated the world of drag queens and considered himself a character actor who sometimes played the part of one.

There's some discussion of her back in locked threads from those heady days of 2007, but assisted suicide campaigner Kelly Taylor has taken the non-coward's way out and died of a spinal condition aged 35.

As you were saying...

Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan is officially on the radar. Although, in fairness, the last Wikileaks DL tip was Ayatollah Khomeini, and that didn't exactly work out.

And if it was aimed at me, I actually thought he was already dead. I think I got him confused with Biff Wellington.

The guy had been battling with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's for years. He was 50. Professional wrestling, man...

Howard Stern favourite and camgirl extraordinaire Raven Alexis had turned up on some radars after reporting that she had stage 4 metastatic liver cancer. Turns out she was making the whole thing up. And if you can't trust porn stars, who can you trust?

Celebrate all that is great with England

It's cool that this perpetually angry, morbidly obese alcoholic died of "natural causes".

Germano Mosconi, an Italian newsreader and sports anchor best known for the various YouTube videos of him swearing loudly on camera, has died aged 79.

Wasn't too sure to put this in here, internet celebrities, or create a new topic for "fat racist shit-for-brains", but Andrew Breitbart's own websites are announcing that he died last night.

Nice.

The mystery cancer he was suffering from was pancreatic. He's currently undergoing treatment and "hopes to be back with the band" by the end of the year. So he's a goner.

No more monkee business.

Somehow this has magically transformed into kidney cancer in the space of a week/the Daily Mail getting hold of the story.

He's one of the 30 most subscribed YT channels, so he probably would get Daily Mail coverage at least. One to keep an eye out for. And for any passing googlers: CHARLES TRIPPY BRAIN TUMOR CANCER ILLNESS CTFXC SHAYTARD INTERNET KILLED TELEVISION DYING.

Dead.

The charity in question is the Depression Alliance, and its part of a sponsored rap battle taking place at Don't Flop's April 1st event. If any of you have any cash kicking about, do donate. Much kudos to Maryport as well, we're helping the wider world here on the DL one corpse at a time.

For a notable alcoholic and man past the age of 70, Jimmy Greaves has very little discussion on these parts. However, the Sunday papers go with the story that he suffered a stroke last year but now claims to be "fighting fit".

Racist... I've got Arry Kiri penned down as the winner, tbh. We'll see...

Wait, I just twigged that the death of Leonard Rosoman, RA, OBE, means that I have... 2034 points. I'd like to thank all of my fellow competitors, great sports the lot of you, I'd like to thank Rosoman, Strathie, James, Carter and that crazy cat Sanha for having the decency to buy the farm so early into this year, and hey.... next stop the DDP.

Admitted to hospital with an abdominal complaint. Talk about irony.

DEAD
