Dancehall legend Ninja Man hospitalized being "seriously ill":

But.... he's also currently suspected of murder and waiting for his trial, so the "mystery" of his illness might turn into a "mystery" recovery.

Now Ninjaman had a heart attack and is fighting for his life:

I'm sure many Deathlist members will indeed be keeping Mr Prophet in their thoughts...

Prophetic musings about Mr. Prophet. Michael Prophet, Jamaican reggae singer, has died aged 60.

Looks like Ninjaman was another 'I"m having a heart attack' defendant in an ongoing murder trial.  Also looks like his next chest pain complaint won't be heard by a judge, but rather a warden.
Veteran Dancehall deejay Ninjaman was a life sentence in the Home Circuit Court for the March 2009 murder of Ricardo Johnson.  He is to serve 25 years before being eligible for parole. He was given 20 years for shooting with intent and life imprisonment for murder.

Is it time we started keeping tabs on Carmen Munroe (85) and Ram John Holder (84) then? Or at least until party's over.

I should though...:(

He wasn't one of the main characters in Desmond's. He played their Jamaican friend, Vince, in a few episodes.

The family of the late reggae icon and marijuana activist Peter Tosh is seeking answers after they say his son (Jawara McIntosh) was left in a coma following an attack in a New Jersey jail, where he was serving a six-month sentence on pot possession charges.

 

This wouldn't have happened if they had Legalized It.
SC

[From October]: The family of the late reggae great Peter Tosh welcomed home his youngest son who had been in the hospital for one and a half years.

Jawara McIntosh, 38, had been hospitalized following a violent attack while he was serving a six-month sentence for cannabis-related charges in the Bergen County Jail in New Jersey.

When his family visited him following the attack, he was barely conscious, having sustained brain injuries. Speaking with The Gleaner, his sister, Niambe, said the family is hopeful for a full recovery, with him now released into their care.

 

Oh well, I had Jawara on a few DPs.

Ranking Roger's "mini-stroke" last year was actually the sign of something much bigger: two brain tumours and lung cancer.

Hence his place on my ToTP theme team.

 

It's terrible news. I hope he survives as long as possible.

Co-signing that. He seems optimistic and if he's on a two-year course of immunotherapy they must assume he's going to last at least two years.

In saying that, perhaps the signs were there, back in the days when I was busy predicting Saxa's death:

I see they dredged up a few for the Pop Quiz specials too.

 

Nick Heyward still looked mighty damn fine. Mari Wilson? OMG!

 

Ranking Roger definitely hasn't aged well though.

 

Fact he has admitted having a seizure while on his course and an unoperated on (so perhaps benign) tumour, he could simply seizure out or do a worse version of Alex Ferguson. As much as he wants to be on stage and the fans want him back, I worry that he could simply drop at any time now. If he goes out performing though, I guess that's what he might want.
