It's Nobel prize season, so take a moment to remember Otto Fritz Meyerhoff, of Emoden-Meyerhoff-Parnas pathway fame and Nobel laureate for Medicine, who died this day 65 years ago aged 67.

Probably still the biggest rumpus in the DeathList forum history. A lot of ranters that day...

I remember Paul Hunter's death because my grandfather was an avid snooker fan and quite cut up about it. He died himself about 8 months later.

Floud is mentioned in Spycatcher. Peter Wright seemed more annoyed at the damage his death would do to Wrights career. Apparently he had a knack for folk he interrogated killing themselves at the time.

Ernie Roth, aka The Grand Wizard and Abdullah Farouk, wrote the book when it came to heel managers in professional wrestling and the 1980s expansion would have been very different without various people being "inspired" by his mannerisms. Sadly he never got to see that period as he dropped dead of a heart attack 33 years ago today aged 57.
