DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted November 6, 2010 Mike Craig, screen and comedy writer including for Morecambe and Wise, has lost his fight against Pick's Disease and his chance to be a decent pick on the DDP in 2011. link Can't say I've heard of him, but Pick's Disease is a very nasty form of frontal lobe dementia which progresses quickly. People unlucky enough to get the illness tend not to linger on for years on end like those who are afflicted with the bog standard variant of the condition.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted November 6, 2010 Top North Korean general & one-time envoy to the USA, Vice Marshal Jo Myong-Rok, is criticially ill & possibly "dying" of kidney & liver disease. According to the report, he has two months "at the most" to live.You may well think, well so what? But, as the report concludes, Jo is effectively the second most powerful man in North Korea, so he'll probably get an obit somewhere. I might not be able to remember what I posted last year, but for some reason I can still remember what OoO posted three years ago . Jo Myong-Rok is dead, not of liver or kidney disease, but of a heart attack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted November 8, 2010 Emilio Massera, 83, who was prominent leader of Argentina's 1976-1983 military junta, has been hospitalised with heart problems. By an odd co-incidence, last week he was deemed healthy enough to face extradition for the alleged kidnapping, torture and disappearance of three Italians during the dictatorship. Maybe Emilio Massera wasn't faking after all. In any case, he's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSBfromH 74 Posted November 16, 2010 John Kluge Doesn't seem to have been posted at the time, but John Kluge died back on 7th September aged 95. He was the United States' richest man 3 years running prior to someone called Mr Gates coming along. His fortune was made in a number of ways, having acquired a controlling interest in Metropolitan Broadcasting (later Metromedia) back in 1959, which he eventually mostly sold off to Rupert Murdoch forming the basis for his Fox Network. Kluge was also the owner of the Harlem Globetrotters and Ice Capades Ice Skating extravaganza for many years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lastorders 15 Posted November 17, 2010 Denise Borino-Quinn, who played Johnny Sack's morbidly obese wife Ginny on The Sopranos, has died of liver cancer aged 46. I believe this makes her the first Sopranos cast member to sleep with the fishes. I'm pretty sure that another cast member died a year or two ago. Unfortunately I can't remember his name, so there is the real possibility that I could be speaking shite. Those fishes will be feeding for months off of that carcass. If 2 cast members are dead then maybe it's a curse. You'll read about in the National Enquirer. Of course if you are talking shite then it's not a curse.... but it will be. It's inevitable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
