British actor Oscar Quitak (wiki) supposedly died in Ibiza on 31 December 2023, aged 97. Edit looks credible.

With no confirmation either way (in general, not blaming you!), annoyingly, he's annoying on my Hares team. Andree Melly died in Ibiza so the location would be accurate, but the news if true has completely skipped by most of the folk I thought would be on it. There's always a Stage reference... eventually.

I emailed the Guardian and they’re not interested in writing an obit. Not notable enough apparently. I beg to differ.

 

I haven’t been able to find a single mention on Twitter or Facebook. I didn’t see anything in the Probate Search. I believe he’s dead but sadly there’s nothing to go off of and I don’t know who else to contact.

FFS!!!!

 

Looking it up, apparently The Guardian didn't give Andree Melly an obit either by looks of it.

It;s a strange one because in that episode of Yes Minister he looks like he's in his 70's.

Here he is 40 years later in his 90's and he looks like he's in his 70's.

Sir Anthony Epstein (wiki), co-discoverer of the Epstein-Barr virus, dead at 102 if you read the latest comment on his Wiki talk page. Death notice due in The Times in the next few days, after which a full obit will likely be published.

A unique DDP pick.

I’ve searched and I don’t think his colleague Yvonne Barr got a Q/O when she died in 2018. He is more notable than her so should obit through.

As promised, Times QO for Epstein.

 

Edit: Says he died on 6 Feb.

He posted it on wiki many hours ago, so he has already said hello.

Wikipedia not sure if David Irving is dead. The "source" does not confirm his death, only that there are reports of it.

Edited February 21 by polar duck
WIkipedia denies David Irving's death

Thank you, but Wikipedia needs solid sources. 

 

And she is notable enough for NYT.

I wrote to the person who made the IG post of Oscar and Andree together, in private and she told me that she is a relative of Oscar and unfortunately he is really dead.

 

I think this should be enough to update his wiki!

Wikipedia now has a reliable source: https://english.berkeley.edu/news/remembering-lyn-hejinian-0

 

I met her a few times several years ago. She was a very kind woman. Makes me wonder about her colleague, Bob Haas. I hope he’s around for a while yet.
