I knew Giles. We worked together for a year or so back in the 90s. A really lovely bloke. 

He was pretty well-known in his own right in musical circles.

A couple of days before his death was announced his brother posted on Facebook that he'd gone missing. So there might be a moderately more dramatic story behind it than just "died after a short illness".

Dick Hunter, patriarch of the Hunter family of hockey players, Dave, Dale and Mark, has died. He was 87. Hunter's sons combined to play nearly 2,800 NHL games. (With a moniker like that, he could've also been placed in the 'How Long Until We're Dickless' and the 'Not Really Famous, But What a Moniker !' threads.)

Don't think he would have qualified to be picked this year, but given the prominence of the case...?

Ah, that was me in my "Long Shot Kick De Bucket" team.  He's the seventh casualty, following such luminaries as George Michael and Maradona.

A cursory Google tells me he had notability in South Africa horse racing circles as a trainer and was interviewed by a South African horse racing website a decade before his daughter's murder.

 

The newsworthiness of the Pistorius case might've been enough even without that, but yeah, I'll add him to LotM.
