Only a month ago Mike Hill made the headlines when his daughter was kidnapped in Nigeria. Her captors offered to release her if he took her place.

 

Now he's dead - diabetic complications and kidney failure.

So good of the Grauniad to confirm Ed's death, which happened way back at the end of May, and was reported by DDT on June 5th:

I'm sure the local coroner will be pleased that he can close the inquest now!

The winemaker Baron Elie Robert de Rothschild has died of a heart attack while on a hunting trip. He was 90.

 

At that age, what the devil was he doing out hunting?

Tommy Elder, who was the oldest living jockey to have ridden in the Grand National, has died at the age of 97. He took part in five pre-war Grand Nationals. He is survived by his girlfriend, Phyllis, aged 98.

 

What? He had a girlfriend at 98? Bet there wasn't anything much going on!

Multiple killer Daniel Gonzalez, 26, has died in Broadmoor after slashing his wrists with a shattered CD case.

 

He clearly had "issues"

 

"When he was on remand before his trial he tried to chew through his veins and arteries."

Phil Rizzuto, New York Yankee legend and Hall of Famer, has died.

 

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/base...zuto/index.html

 

For all those non-Americans saying, "Who?", he's referenced in an episode of Seinfeld when the head of a doll of him gets buried under some tarmac in New York city, leading to inevitable high jinks and hilarity

 

[Edit to add]

 

And d'oh from me for forgetting, but he's the one announcing the "baseball game" during Meat Loaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

I've never seen that episode.

 

Did Seinfeld make it that big in the UK? It's arguably the best comedy of this century.
