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.

 

I'm getting the same kinda memories. Son of a famous (must have been an actress), who had a fractious personal life, may have been a gay icon? Son was really close to her.

Was it Kate O'Mara's son? He offed himself in 2013.

No, it was somebody in a very similar position to Jason Lake.  Parents dead, and one had committed suicide.  I think.

I really would have bet my house on JL offing himself a few years back.

I fucking resent that.  I had her in DDP last year and it was a great pick (apart from her living and all).  She is/was a sneaky name and an absolute obit.  Maybe you need to take a page from the Spade Cooley notebook, she is PRECISELY the name you want, the top of the barrel.

I wouldn’t necessarily call them top of the barrel names if (afaik) D’Allonches is still alive...

1,  I'll assume you read em as you post em.  Or maybe I shouldn't
"Former Miss Florida Valerie Lundeen was found stabbed to death..."  
She has an appropriate thread and was valid in her own right.
And oh look, her name is searchable now.  *eyeroll*

2. Valerie?  Shouldn't it be Jane? 

3. "... no gibbons were involved.  And now the news for wombats."

Oh look she still isn't in the thread you want her in because you couldn't be arsed cross-posting in amongst your criticism.

 

Valid here, and still technically correct here anaw.

The murder suspect who was shot dead is the couple's son, Cameron.

The BBC report mentions that Ron is now disabled. (Not through the shooting but was already disabled). So losing a wife and son can't help any.

If I picked someone in DDP, and they were in a room and everyone in the room got killed except my DDP pick, I'd be melancholy.

Yes, as a long-standing member of team 'goodnight from me, etc', Ron has become increasingly bullet-proof over the years.

 

He'll probably outlive his daughters, Such is life.

It's actually weirder than that because the emergency call was from one of the kids saying his dad had tried to kill his mum (i.e. suggesting Ron did the assaulting), the cops shot someone else. Either way, lurid enough to provide form spotting opportunities and a timely reminder Ron Ely is still with us
