The Dead Of 2012

Recommended Posts

Dunno how this site's much-loved guests and sub-100 post makers are going to cope today with Wikipedia blacking out "Deaths in 2012".

Carlos Pujol, Writer, editor and translator has died aged 75.

 

It's just the English side of Wikipedia that's blacked out for today

I check it out a few times a day as it's a lazy way sometimes of seeing who has died rather than having several news sites up

Although the people I'm following I tend to have a google alert set up

Its not coming up on the search engine, and no obits at all yet, but former Emmerdale producer Kathleen Beedles and a former writer on that show appear to have confirmed the death of Jenny Tomasin last week. The actress, who would be c75 (depending on your source) was in Upstairs Downstairs, Crossroads and the aforementioned Emmerdale.

I am finding that if you press Escape as the wiki page loads it doesn't then flick to that black message screen.

 

true but as nobody can update the site its a waste of time

Though the family is denying the death, the AP reported earlier this week that he was hospitalized and in serious condition due to complications of lung cancer, which the family confirmed.

 

What is unquestionable is that JoePa is seriously, seriously ill, if he's even still alive. And given the lung cancer + the stress from his firing earlier this year for the child-rape scandal at Penn State, he's a certainty for sometime this year, if not the next few days or hours.

Nicol Williamson

 

The renowned actor has died penniless aged 73.

 

Oh well, that concludes my question "whatever happened to Nicol Williamson?" that I was asking myself a couple of weeks ago after watching Excalibur
