DevonDeathTrip 2,294 Posted August 20, 2008 Journalist Adrian Sudbury, 26, is suffering from leukemia for the second time and has elected not to receive any further treatment. He has been given a prognosis of "weeks to months". He only writes for a local newspaper, but he has kept a blog detailing his condition and met the Prime Minister during his campaign to get more people to register as a donor. His story has been mentioned in the Daily Mail, Daily Mirror and on the BBC, so he will get a UK obit. Adrian Sudbury has died. BBC obit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 119 Posted August 21, 2008 I see Andrea Pininfarina was killed in a car crash recently. Perhaps it's been mentioned already, but if so I couldn't find it. Or perhaps nobody has heard of him, but I have. His company designed some nice cars. And there's a grammatical error in the obit: When his death was announced trading in the firm's shares were suspended as a sign of respect. tsk, tsk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Note the phrase 'original': The book business is the most parasitic medium going. Anything even remotely popular with readers and there's soon a billion versions filling up Waterstones. Rant over..
