Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted December 23, 2015 Whatever happened to Amanda Bynes is she still on drugs This ain't a chat room, mate. Feel free to do so in the 'Possibilities' thread. Presumably maybe and no seasoned vet is going to take a flyer on her just cuz she visits rehab every 18 months. Well someone might but sure as hell not me. I actually did two years ago, proving I was a novice rookie. SirC In 2016 I might clamp down on tautology. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,143 Posted January 2, 2016 Don't really know where the best place for this is, but might have been useful if we'd known about it earlier. Fears grow for former EastEnders actor missing with two sons Sian Blake, 43, who played Frankie Pierre in the soap in the mid-90s, disappeared last month from Erith, south-east London, with her children Zachary, eight, and Amon, four. She was last seen on 13 December around Waltham Forest, east London, and is believed to still be in the capital .... .... Blake is reported to have been battling motor neurone disease. One of her neighbours, Sandra Metzgen, told the Sun: “Sian has motor neurone disease and I think it has got worse. A few Sundays ago she came down the steps to her house and said she wasn’t too good. An ambulance has been called out a couple of times too. “When I last saw her she said the doctors didn’t think she was going to get better and it sounded like she didn’t have very long left. No one knows where she is. She was looking very thin and frail and I think her mum was worried about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 5, 2016 Looks like Andres has missed his final gate at 31. Venezuelan international show jumper Andres Rodriguez has been killed in a car crash, along with his passenger Sophie Walker at the Palm Beach Polo and Equestrian Center in Wellington, Florida. Rodriguez has represented his country at WEG 2014 and also at CSIO Barcelona in 2015 and was aiming for Rio 2016. He was the silver medallist at the last Pan American Games in Canada. The local investigators have said that it appears Rodriguez Porche took a bend too fast and lost control. They have not yet established the reason for this. Walker was killed at the scene and Rodriguez died in hospital a few hours later. 'Show jumping' wtf I almost put this in Silly Sports but since obits aren't part of that thread I let it go.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 4, 2016 Vanderbilt University pitcher Donny Everett, 19, drowned at Normandy Lake in Coffee County on Thursday night. According to a report from the Coffee County Sheriffs Department, he tried to swim across the lake while fishing with two friends as well as two Vanderbilt teammates, As most are unaware, this was the night before the NCAA baseball playoffs, like the 65 basketball team March Madness. So it's timing is awful to say the least.
