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.

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.

Swedish-Brazilian "Made in Chelsea" actor Fabian Bolin has leukemia.... and blogs about it: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/fabian-bolin-made-chelsea-star-6029085 http://fabianbolinwaroncancer.com/

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.

Here is the dirty laundry of the fight over Gabor's conservatorship: http://wealthmanagement.com/high-net-worth/zsa-zsa-gabors-contentious-conservatorship-put-rest Francesca Hilton said that the Prince kept her isolated and constantly sedated. With the ruling, the Prince is now completely out...

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.

I think you mean George Martin, the producer?

Maria Barroso, former portuguese first wife and co-founder of the socialist party is dead at 90 after falling into a coma after a fall: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/07/07/maria-barroso-former-portuguese-first-lady-and-socialist-party-co-founder-dead/ Her husband, Mario Soares, is still alive and currently on two DDP teams.

That obit I mentioned in the classical music thread drew my attention to Sir Neville Marriner. He's 91 years old now, but at least for now, in good shape. He's also recently become a Companion of Honor.

Oldest ever Irish person Kathleen Snavely dead at 113: http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/kathleen-snavely-oldest-irish-person-in-history-passes-away-at-age-of-113-31357003.html She moved to America in 1921 though, like so many Irish people.

I haven't seen The Avengers or Age of Ultron. I have no real motivation to watch any new generation comic movies at all. I don't quite get the hype. I really want to watch some more serialized drama, especially The Wire, maybe The Sopranos, and West Wing. I haven't seen a single episode of either one. Indeed, Nicolas Cage has tried and failed.

Stan Carew, mainly known as a Canadian radio broadcaster, but also an occasional musician and frequently appearing guest star in TV movies and series, is dead at 64: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/cbc-broadcaster-stan-carew-dies-at-the-age-of-64/article25323284/ He had just two months until retirement.

Now we're getting somewhere... The first mainstream political journalists in America are now implying that Alexis Tsipras could be a new Allende: http://www.balloon-juice.com/2015/07/06/its-got-a-groove-its-got-a-meaning/

lets face it his mental faculties have been pretty fucking dodgy at the best of times... I've heard and sometimes seen that old people, as they get more and more lost in dementia, turn aggressive to cover up their losing grip on reality. And there have been lots of inner troubles, attempted coups and purgings lately. But I never checked the situation there as regularly as this year. I smell a death late this year.

Grace Mugabe "positions herself to take power" "while the faculties of her 91-year old husband decline". Apparently, his mental health is declining rapidly. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/grace-mugabe-49-positions-herself-to-take-power-in-zimbabwe-as-frail-91-year-old-husband-fades
