dead Prince Friso Of The Netherlands

[Magere Hein 1,400]

Prince Friso of Orange-Nassau went skiing, found an avalanche and is in hospital and 'critical condition'.

 

He's an unremarkable man, his only claim to fame is that his mum is Queen Beatrix.

 

regards,

Hein

Just reading about it now, Hein. Here is how it is being reported down here in Australia:

Unremarkable, except for the fact that he renounced his right to the throne to marry a deceased drug baron's moll...

Pretty much what we know. I don't care much about these people, although Friso is, to the best of my knowledge, not a bad one. At least he's not paid from tax money, like his brother.

Yes, we loved that soap opera. Of course his chances to become king were pretty small to begin with, as his sister-in-law was already pregnant of what would become Princess Amalia.

 

I guess that come the revolution we can spare him.

I think he is saying that all the Dutch are dead. And I don't believe him

Doctors are saying the Prince will survive, but he has suffered massive brain damage.

Yes. Latest news is that he's in a coma and may never regain consciousness. Euthanasia is routinely performed on such patients in the Netherlands, but I doubt that that will happen in this case, so he may live for a long time, if that's life.

Probably mentoined elsewere but it's unlikely that the Dutch prince ever awakes from his coma (link)...

I can't find any article saying he's dead.

 

Stop posting DEAD until you can provide the proof in your post.

He had been skiing with between one and three other people off the marked pistes when the avalanche hit shortly after midday local time last Friday, said resort officials.

 

Would that be two people, then?

 

Regardless of poor journalism, this is sad news and I'm sorry to hear it.

[Magere Hein 1,400]

He's was moved to The Wellington private hospital in London yesterday.

 

There's no further news on his condition.

National Geographic announced his death this morning. No word yet from the official press secretary of the Dutch Royal House.

Could be a painful mistake, a misplaced joke or they know more than we do... NG resumed their normal programming anyway.

 

 

 

 

Update:

As expected, the Royal press agency (RVD) denies he died.

[Magere Hein 1,400]

News has it that Prince Friso shows "very minimal signs of consciousness". Looks like he's recovered completely.

Dutch teletext is reporting that he is being moved back to the Netherlands, so his situation is either worsening or improving, I asume....

 

I am not going to search for a propper link, Because I am on my smartphone with it's annoying touchscreen and automatic spellingcorrection-thingy,...

[Death Impends 7,975]

Here's a link

 

The key quote is "The House of Orange said in a statement Tuesday that hospital treatment for the 44-year-old father of two is no longer necessary.", in other words his situation is improving.

There is now...

 

Surprised only three teams had a punt on this one.

[Toast 16,140]

That's so very sad, but it was never going to end well so at least his family can start to move on.

 

I'm sorry to say I completely forgot about him when sorting out my teams. I had remembered by early January, because I was going to put him in my RottenDeadpool team, but annoyingly he wasn't on their lists. (Neither was Henry Cecil, although I had nominated him long before to no avail.) Oh well, there's another to strike off my 2014 longlist.

[dean1991 116]

I thought Friso would be first off my list this year, another hit anyhow. Still waitin' on old' 50 cent to be shot down

[Magere Hein 1,400]

Hmm, "died of complications related to the hypoxic brain injury", eh.

 

The idea that they´d (whoever they are) switched him off did cross my mind. His royal bro´s on holiday in Greece, I´m told, one would expect better coordination. WA has been remarkably quiet BTW.

Surprised only three teams had a punt on this one.

 

Of course I considered him for my Theme Team, but I thought I had enough dodgy picks. Of course Friso´s obitability wasn´t the point, but I didn´t expect he´d buy the farm so soon.

 

My flyer in HPDP paid, though.

 

ETA: The bit below the subject line in the list now shows: dead vegetable. Must be a comment on Dutch cuisine.

Hein
