The Four Horsemen 26 Posted January 6, 2006 And I quote from the article: AUSTRALIAN television actress Sophie Heathcote has died in the American state of Connecticut, reportedly from an aneurism. The actress, who died yesterday, was also believed to have been suffering from skin cancer [........] She retired from acting in 2001 to concentrate on her all-natural skin care range, Ki, which she founded in 1998.

Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted January 7, 2006 I don't class Wikipedia as a reliable source. It's easy for me to just change an entry, post it on there & say he's dead. I'm not saying he isn't & if he is, I'm sorry to hear of it, but considering that both I & Canadian Paul were thinking of fake deaths to put on Wikipedia to prove it's unreliability & others have done it before (Ariel Sharon, let us recall), I would prefer A site SOMEWHERE on the web, to at least have something.

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted January 7, 2006 and we have contact.......this just in from Ireland on line..... Ex-Nazi dead at 93 "Heinrich Harrer an Austria mountaineer and former Nazi who fled a British prisoner of war camp in India for the northern Himalayas where he befriended and tutored the Dali Lama, died today. He was 93. Harrer's family in the province of Carinthia did not mention a cause of death, saying only that "in great peace he carried out his final expedition" before croaking in a hospital in Friesach. He is to be buried on January 14, in the town of Huettenberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted January 7, 2006 Right, the Irish Examiner has it. That's what I mean - it's undisputable. Why the person who did the Wikipedia entry didn't put a link, I don't know. http://www.irishexaminer.com/breaking/stor...&n=207927534&x= AH, BB you beat me to it.
