I once took a seminar called 'caring for your chainsaw'. 

I still look back on that and wish I'd worn a goalie mask.

Architect killed by falling debris (spoiler: building inspectors are involved) 

Funny how the actual event AND your post had such a build up.... and then a let down.

No one dead at the moment but time will tell. "13 shot at Chicago memorial for shooting victim"  https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/13-shot-at-chicago-memorial-for-shooting-victim/ar-BBYf8DF?ocid=spartanntp


How in the world is this 'ironic'.  Maybe you don't understand how gangs operate.

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"?

It's fine. Sometimes (very often) a single death fits several threads.

Here's your English language obit. Ironic, isn't it?

The opposite of karma.  Unless you mean him offing himself (?) afterward.  That's cowardice, not karma.

Man who called Ohio's lockdown 'bullshit' dies from COVID-19. John McDaniel had let his feelings be known on social media before contracting the virus.

Well, coronavirus told him it was bullshit to think he wasn’t a threat then...

Frankline Ndifor, a Cameroon pastor who 'healed' COVID-19 sufferers by laying his hands on them has...well, you can probably figure it out.  He's died of coronavirus.  Ndifor was 39.

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.

If it can be of any consolation, it made me laugh again. Old but gold!
