Michael Barrymore has been forced to cancel his summer residency at Blackpool pier due to a suicide scare. He will be replaced by the Chuckle Brothers.

Dead. ...if that obit constitutes as something more than rumour. New York finally finished its job.

Tell me more, tell me more: did he put up a fight? (answer: no)

Where does it say he offed himself? Died "on his own" after "going missing" with "no suspicious circumstances". Gonna guess he didn't just crawl into a bush upon having a heart attack.

Noel Sheehy, who was apparently a "big cheese" in the world of psychology, has offed himself.

I think Bowen merits his own thread? Anyone over 70 with health problems who is "known to the man on the street" qualifies, imho. It's when people start threads for Louise Bourgiese or whoever that there's a problem.

In fairness, the "biggest" death since OBL was Randy Savage's and he went in a car accident. Admittedly because his heart gave way due to years of steroid abuse rather than because he was tips, but still. Also he was a movie star cuz he was in the first Spider Man film.

So Bobby "Dazzler" George is on Twitter and in between his views on West End musicals and the observation that "All these people in the public eye having affairs! As my old mum used to say 'a stiff pricks got no conscious'! till you come your coco!" I also found him wishing former Bullseye host Jim Bowen well erlier this year. Apparently the erstwhile Bullseye host has had a series of strokes so far this year. Bowen also strikes me as the kind of guy you could get some good "build up material" before he goes, maybe an interview in The Sun or the Mail taking a wide-angle lens photo of him stumbling out of a hospital, so fuck it, give him a thread.

His wife Blossom has died. Bygraves does kinda "feel" like a DL pick.

Raises 2 interesting questions, namely 1) Whether the alleged scandal involving Savage and WWF/WWE in the early 90s will now finally come to light; "Randy Savage was totally fired from the WWE for fucking a 13-year-old Stephanie McMahon" is kinda like the 2000s version of "the original Ultimate Warrior is dead and has been replaced by somebody else"

How does a woman marry serial rapist Conrad Hilton and then still find someone worse to hook up with later on?

Six months in prison Apparently this guy used to be a relevant buzz musician back in the early 2000s?

Apparently Lance Armstrong did a shitload of drugs? This is certainly shocking news to me.

Is that Kevin Keegan on the left? Perhaps he should have his own thread! Depends if he gets pulled over into any more lay-bys in future.

Can we not get an enterprising US deathlister to sneak into this hospital and scribble "DNR" onto her forehead?

Just got my Olympic stadium ticket application back. Missed out on the men's 100m final but I got 25,000 tickets for West Ham v Doncaster.

These were the original lyrics to the theme of "Henry's Cat"

M-Bone from Cali Swag District, who had a hit last year with the appalling "Teach Me How To Dougie", shot dead.

He's a regular tweeter, many of his witticisms feature in the Independent. Yeah, he's never short of a gag ^joke that works on three levels

Reports are stating that he actually jumped to his death after being caught with another woman by his wife. lol?

I just got around to reading the rest of the superinjunctions that have leaked and... David Schneider? Really? Wow.

And another one...
