Former star running back and current Detroit Lions (NFL) Assisrant Head Coach, Duce Staley, has left the Lions and taken on an assistant coaching job with the Carolina Panthers in order to be closer to his mother, who is having medical issues.  
That’s quite a drastic reaction, so we shall presume she has drastic medical needs.

The Supernatural fandom has been giving back in the most heartwarming way possible – by raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to help the niece of one of its stars fight cancer.

Jim Beaver, known for his role as Bobby Singer on the hit show, revealed that his 16-year old niece Kira has a rare form of brain cancer.

A GoFundMe page set up by her family explains that Kira started complaining about double vision before a driving test, and within five weeks was diagnosed with an inoperable tumour.

Jim Beaver himself recently had an aggressive prostate cancer but is currently cancer-free:

A very  unusual  one here.

Lyon Tyler , the grandson of John Tyler  former american president ,President  Tyler has died aged 95.

 

The first link is an obituary  notice, the second an interview with him in 2012 when he was in his eighties. 

How can the grandson of someone who was born in 1790 , more than 200 years ago still be alive? Well as the second link explains  his grandfather had his father aged 75 and his father also fathered him when he was of pensionable age. 

The earliest British PM to have a living grandchild is Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, Prime Minister from 1894 to 1895.

His grandson, Scottish peer Neil Primrose, 7th Earl of Rosebery (wiki), turns 94 today. He sat as a non-affiliated member of the House of Lords until 1999 and lives near Edinburgh.

 He certainly doesn't fit in this particular thread.  Pretty well established character actor who played one of the most beloved characters on a tv show that ran for 15 years.

A heart defect, but mostly an addiction to mixing painkillers and booze.
