Always surprised he's not more well known for his work in the 1990's representing the King family during their lawsuit that resulted in a jury saying the US government killed MLK.

Scottish entertainer Christian aka Chris McClure, reportedly dead: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12584611/christian-chris-mcclure-dead-scotland-singer-music/

 

Performed on the 1982 Scotland single We Have A Dream but more of a Scottish rather than national figure.

 

Look at all these pished folk representing our country in stereotypical style:

John Barnett, a former Boeing employee who turned whistleblower following his retirement, raising concerns about the firm's production standards, has been found dead. He was 62.  In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company. Barnett died from a self-inflicted wound.

Second dead Boeing whistleblower, Josh Dean, died to an infection and rare collection of circumstances:

Any more prominent whistleblowers?

 

Also, I had to look up my former DDP pick, and Australian gambling whistleblower Troy Stolz. He is still alive, actually doing well, and gained a wikipedia page since last year:

Looks like popular movie website Aveleyman is dead.

The home page has been replaced with a big sign that simply reads "GAME OVER".

A pity. The best website on the web for putting an actor's face to a name.


Aveleyman definitely not coming back as someone some cunt has bought the domain name and turned it into a shitty Manga site for virgins.

Had a look at this. It's alright. Not the best. Only has several hundred movies, which is not very inclusive.

Still, credit to them. Building sites like this must be a total bitch.

As we don't yet have a Vietnam thread.

So the annual Medal of Honor recipients convention happened earlier this September and Korean War recipient Ralph Puckett was there, looked even frailer than at his Medal of Honor ceremony. Hiroshi Miyamura didn't show up which isn't a good sign either especially as he was a regular at these conventions, so what Ulitzer said about them both looking like shit, definitely seems to be the case here. I wouldn't see them lasting long either.
 
They are a fast dwindling group, so much so that many believe this will be the last proper Medal of Honor recipient convention and I can see why as some of the Vietnam War MOH recipients who were there looked quite frail, also found out a few other recipients who were not at the event that are now frail, Michael Thornton in particular stands out to me because he seemed healthy a couple months ago but now he looks quite frail and he's using a cane, not to mention he usually wouldn't miss such events. Roger Donlon, who I've mentioned several times before as he has end-stage Parkinson's disease for a while now, somehow attended the convention (potentially one for the immortals list?) but his wife who's basically his spokesperson nowadays, pretty much confirmed this will be Roger's last time attending for obvious reasons.
 
So the full list of MOH recipients that I know of that are in poor health or are otherwise frail as of right now, are Ralph Puckett, Hiroshi Miyamura, Roger Donlon, Barney Barnum, Allen James Lynch, John Duffy, Gary Wetzel, Clarence Sasser and Michael Thornton.
