if he has cancer will his death get orbit in the UK media I'm not sure, he has won multiple Grammy's and Latin Grammy's though Now we know, the answer is yes: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3160218/Mexican-ballad-singer-Joan-Sebastian-dies-age-64.html I'm surprised how even my marginal suggestions die faster than I'd like to. (Edit: I know it's already been posted, but I wanted to answer the question above.) Edit: Even the BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-33519929

Catholic archbishop Jozef Wesolowski falls ill conveniently before the start of his child abuse trial. It is the first high-profile case since Pope Francis promised to clean up the moral mess: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/catholic-archbishop-intensive-care-after-6048507

A question: if they turn off the life support of people like Jules Bianchi or Bobbi Kristina Brown, does it count as an unnatural death?
-
The father of Jules Bianchi talks about the daily struggle, with a hint of resignation and the implication that they will "turn off the switch": http://www.planetf1.com/driver/3213/62167/Bianchis-father-describes-familys-daily-torture

this makes me sad Hmm, is there a drug generally associated with testicular cancer? Something Lance Armstrong used in his early days?

75 years old now, happy birthday!!!! And he's still looking like he did 30 years ago, when he looked like 60.

Kirsty Derry, who had a rare genetic disorder that caused her to have constant high appetite, 'ate herself to death': http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/woman-ate-herself-death-aged-6051715 The name of the disorder is "Prader-Willi Syndrome" (PWS). Apparently, the death already happened in 2013, so it's a bit of a mystery why the Mirror picked up the story only now. My guess is fat-shaming, also, this part is too good not to share: "Just a week earlier (before her death), Kirsty had posted a heartbreaking final Facebook status which gave an insight into her battle with food. "yummy! yummy ! yummy! fillet steak new potatoes and salad I had for tea tonight," she wrote."

The spot-boy of Bollywood's nr. 1 actor Shak Rukh Khan, Subhash Dada, is dead of cancer: http://www.ibtimes.co.in/shah-rukhs-spot-boy-subhash-dada-passes-away-aryan-gauri-attend-funeral-photos-639034 I'll try to find out what a spot-boy is, but he was doing it for Mr. Khan for 25 years. Edit: So a spot-boy is just someone who does the dirty, mundane jobs on set. -
Just in.... Philipp Mißfelder, conservative german politician, is dead at 35: http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/philipp-missfelder-ist-tot-a-1043371.html(link in german) He died completely unexpected of a pulmonary embolism. For years, he was regarded as a rising conservative star until missteps in his dealings with Russia sort of pushed him aside. Wolfgang Schäuble however liked him and wished for Mißfelder to replace him at some point.

He's already beginning to have that typical gaunt look of pancreatic cancer. Steve Jobs managed to hang on a couple months with it though.

Dead Back from a trip... This death mystified me a little. Audigier was apparently wealthy and still relatively young. The cancer was not very progressed, officially, and while I had him in my database, I didn't think he was very likely to die. But the cancer thought otherwise.... @ YoungWillz: I would have posted that death here as well. It seems he was much more businessman than game designer.

Britney Spears, Kerry Katona, Heather Locklear et al.

Ok, at first it was reported that Kerry Katona had kicked her husband out of the house because of his partying, shortly after his Bell's Palsy episode: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3151844/Kerry-Katona-kicks-husband-George-Kay-family-home-nine-months-marriage.html Then a couple of hours later, he was admitted to a hospital: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3153199/Kerry-Katona-s-husband-George-Kay-hospitalised-following-episode-hotel-hours-kicked-family-home.html Her husband, George Kay, has a history of mental illness and was once found running down the street shouting that someone was going to kill him. Now Kerry Katona says her world is crumbling around her: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/kerry-katona-feels-like-world-6030979 Her mother's heart disease is also said to be putting pressure on her, oh, and her children were involved in a car crash in May: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/444008/Kerry-Katona-health Is it the cruelty of the world, or is it her? -

A 1.200 pound man named Robert Butler has died in Rhode Island: http://wpri.com/2015/07/08/1200-pound-man-passes-away-at-eleanor-slater-hospital/ It sounds as if the "needs a crane to leave house"-stage is when it becomes dangerous.

Legendary jockey Randy Romero has about a year left to live if he doesn't receive a new liver: http://www.nola.com/horseracing/index.ssf/2015/06/legendary_jockey_randy_romero_1.html If that doesn't kill him, the newly discovered tumour in his stomach might. Or his hepatitis C. Or his failing kidneys. Or the aftereffects of his numerous surgeries.

http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1637&p=230983 Kathleen Staples, mother of Devon Staples, wants stricter laws regarding who can buy and use fireworks following her son's death. http://news.yahoo.com/mom-man-died-fireworks-accident-says-rules-too-205543867.html FFS, he was TWENTY TWO!!!!!!! As terrible as it is her son was a cockwand. I like the quote at the bottom of the article from Democratic rep, Michel Lajoie "They're going to say, 'Well, you can't regulate stupidity' ... and it's true, you can't. But the fact of the matter is you have to try something," Darwin Award material, surely. By the way, isn't there a Darwin thread somewhere? I thought this was it. That's how I made that double post. I didn't look at the "interesting ways to die" thread.because I previously searched for a Darwin award thread and I only got this.

Interesting, there's also mention of a cabinet post that might have gone to Grace Mugabe but now someone else gets it. The succession fights are starting.
