Etushispushingupdaisies 136 Posted January 5, 2020 https://ria.ru/amp/20200105/1563122778.html. 40-year-old Russian oncologist and surgeon Andrei Pavlenko has lost his battle with stomach cancer this morning. His ordeal had been reported by RT a year or two years ago. I'm waiting for their obituary. Should I have posted this in "Famous for only being ill and dying"?

En Passant 3,741 Posted November 29, 2020 Not recent, but no search brings her name up. So... Charlotte Conant Fox (10 May 1957 – 24 May 2018) was an American mountaineer and the first American woman to reach the summit of three 8,000 meter peaks. She survived the 1996 Mount Everest disaster as a member of Scott Fischer's Mountain Madness expedition. She died of head injuries on May 24, 2018, after falling over a stairway railing at her house. Yes, that is the entire wiki entry for her, and no, it doesn't seem to have attracted any comments about irony (intended or otherwise) in the talk section. Further, yes, I was watching the supremely originally titled film 'Everest' from 2015 tonight and did a little digging as one does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
