Luke Laufenberg, son of ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current Cowboys radio analyst Babe Laufenberg, died Thursday morning after losing his fight against cancer. He was 21.

Luke Laufenberg battled Burkitt's lymphoma since he was first diagnosed on Dec. 26, 2017, just weeks after wrapping up his first season at Mesa Community College. He had walked on as a tight end at Texas A&M in 2016.

Settle down my giggling UK peeps.  Tight End is a player in the sport of American football.  Akin to a Coxswain in rowing.
SC

Legit commentary line from one of only NFL games I saw: "And he plowed heavily into the Tight End there in the End Zone."

 

I laughed lots.

Arleta Baird, mother of the late GG Allin, has died aged 83.

Quote

Arleta loved unconditionally, without judgment, and selflessly

 

...which is good to know, given some of her son's lifestyle choices.

How did this become news. Apart from me sharing it here. Harry Potter star's brother electrocuted during 'boozy train surfing stunt' with friend https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/harry-potter-stars-brother-electrocuted-during-boozy-train-surfing-stunt-with-friend/ar-AAGzQZi?ocid=spartanntp

 

I remember the news reports of this at the time.

Intriguing story.  Stroppy coroner, families in denial, disputes over CoD ....

 

"A post-mortem established that Mr Haddon-Cave, of Clerkenwell, London, died of electrocution. He was identified by DNA comparison with his brother."

Ewww.  Sounds messy.

Poor guy. Mother dies of cancer when hes 14 which is bad enough, but his Dad then took his life a few months later.

 

That's enough to seriously muck a life up as a teenager.

I had it in my head that their son had died by suicide several years ago. 

Who might I be thinking of?  Someone with a similar story/background?

Maybe Alan Lake himself (see PHBB's post above), who killed himself in Jason's bedroom shortly after Dors had died? If not, I haven't a clue.

Sylvia Plath's son?  He was Ted Hughes' son too of course. I almost forgot that.

No, I think it was somebody with a showbiz background, and I'm sure it was no more than five years ago. 

I'm allowing for time always passing quicker than I think, so probably less.
