Will probably be classed as "died suddenly" which usually means 99% chance suicide 1% chance heart attack at his age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He set off to drown himself in the nearby River Derwent, took a running jump but totally missed the river! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,963 Posted April 10, 2021 Yoo Sang-Chul was supposedly in critical condition, being blind, and the cancer had spread to his brain. But his manager said nothing is true: https://www.chosun.com/national/national_general/2021/03/29/ZS6SS7MDTFBNVG22HUYG6E7324/ But he has had a bad eye for many years which had turned into blindness during treatment.

time 8,581 Posted April 13, 2021 Former Darlington owner George Reynolds has died. The former safe-cracker, who had served several prison terms, bought Darlington in , with dreams of taking them to the top flight. He built a £20m 25,000 seater stadium but was subsequently done for tax evasion & spent more time inside. During his tenure as chairman, Darlo became the first club to lose an FA Cup match & still progress to the next round, when Manchester United decided they'd rather play in the world club championship & withdrew; a lucky dip was held amongst the second round losers to take their place, which Darligton won (they lost to Aston Villa in the 3rd) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
