Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, has revealed she is “fighting for her life” after a new cancer diagnosis.  The mother of the Juventus superstar beat breast cancer after being diagnosed with the disease in 2007.

 

Sounds a little dramatic to me, but the re-appearance of cancer is significant.

T.I.'s sister Precious dies aged 66 a week after getting smashed in a "super serious car accident in Atlanta", which keeps Drols post rolling re Gable.

Country singer Ronnie Milsap's son Todd is reported to have died aged 49.

No link as I'm in Europe, but our non-European's should be able to verify (if anyone is remotely interested).

 

Ronnie is one of my DDP picks. Todd is not.
