Looks like progeria runs in the family to varying degrees. Her mom died last month and it mentions progeria in her obituary. Linda Wedekind Obituary - Gahanna, OH (dignitymemorial.com)

Her brother Chad died of it in 2012.


75? This family definitely has a different form of progeria. From the photo of her in the obit she looks pretty "normal". There must be different subtypes, because the one everyone discusses seems to kill most sufferers by their early 20s, and they look like 70 year old children.

I've thought the same since I saw this video. The man in the video is around 30 now, but doesn't look extremely old.

Simon Fieschi (wiki), French writer and survivor of the 2015 Charlie Hebdo shooting, found dead in his hotel room at 41.

breaking news a few days ago, thought it was already reported, really sad, way too young, suspected suicide if I remember well

I did do a search but I don't think it was posted.

Turns out were more survivors of that attack than I remember there being at the time. I just assumed that most of them had died, but that wasn't the case. 12 died – there were dozens of others who either survived or were not present on the day due to other commitments.

Was also reading about Zineb El Rhazoui (wiki), the Moroccan-born journalist who is a huge critic of Islam. She was absent on the day as she was on holiday. She continued to work for Charlie Hebdo until 2017, when she quit after claiming the publication had finally caved to Islamist demands. I don't know enough to say if that's true or not, but it would perhaps account for why there hasn't been any other attempts of terrorist attacks on the publication since?

Could be a lively funeral, I'm not sure how many of his six wives are still alive but then there are others he didn't marry - like Susan George - who might be fighting for room in the pews!

Times obit for Wendy Noel, aged 95, entertainment agent.

Also the "minder" of Judy Garland when she lived/worked in London... didn't do a very good job on that front.
