The poster (Dennis Troper) is her husband and I just cannot see him faking something like this, especially since he lost his son just a few months ago. This is quite a big death because her presence was so persistent, even just as a name on the information page. I suppose 56 years, many of them with exorbitant wealth, may be a better life than the 80 years of scraping by that many people get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,586 Posted August 14 On 11/06/2024 at 16:03, Spade_Cooley said: TV producer John Balson took his own life on May 17. Getting some traction in the media today due to the implications that the subject matter he specialised in - true crime documentaries - contributed heavily to a decline in his mental health, and his production company/Channel 4 weren't too bothered about their duty of care. He was the producer of that show where Emilia Fox has for some reason convinced herself she has the right to theorise about real people being murdered because she played a detective once.
