rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted March 6, 2015 Just over three years after unsuccessfully dying from shooting himself in the head.... Daniel von Bargen Sorry but how does one unsuccessfully shoot themselves in the head? Either they hit the target or they didn't. SC He shot himself in the head but didn't inflict a fatal wound. It's fairly simple to deduce. that's what he meant but didn't say On a point of pedantry he was successful in shooting himself in the head. I have to go with SC on this one. Did I just say that? Clearly it was a fair ribbing but I am enjoying ferreting out those who have OCPD around here. SC Oklahoma City Police Department? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuriedInCarolina 46 Posted March 7, 2015 "Playgirl Centerfold, Celebrity Trainer Dirk Shafer Found Dead In His Car" "Shafer wrote, directed and starred in Man of the Year, a 1995 mockumentary about his time as a semi-closeted gay man in the role of a heterosexual sex symbol. Shafer's next directorial project was Circuit, a fictional look at the world of gay male circuit parties." I'd post photos but some of you might find those too exciting or complain that I should have posted them in another thread! http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2015/03/06/playgirl-centerfold-celebrity-trainer-dirk-shafer-found-dead-in-his-car/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 7, 2015 [edited] Having not reviewed the 1815 forums beforehand, I've taken a chance that no one has posted this, only to find someone has and I am a complete ass for Reposting. And now for something completely the same.... Harve Bennett who directed Stat Trek movies is deceased. That's three MAJOR Star Trek names in five days. That seems unprecedented in coincidence of any group of people. Amazing. Sir C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaagheid 141 Posted March 7, 2015 Really? It's been hours and I'm first? Fine by me Harve Bennett who directed Stat Trek movies is deceased. That's three MAJOR Star Trek names in five days. That seems unprecedented in coincidence of any group of people. Amazing. Sir C I don't mind people posting things double and let that slight most of the time, but then also claiming you are the first to post it without properly checking I feel is just arrogant... It was already posted in the Star Trek-thread yesterday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 8, 2015 All I can do is fire a name in the search box, I don't know the plethora of forums here, and I've apologized in the past for a few repostings. I honestly don't know what else you want me to do. If I don't see it, I don't see it. The 'Dead of 2015' needs to be the clearinghouse, if y'all want to moan cuz you posted 'in Star Trek forum' then moan away. I'm not 11 years old and it's just not that important to publish first, whereas I see it's terribly important to others. My post clearly shows astonishment I couldn't find your buried post. Post everything twice (once in Deaths of 2015) and you'll never have another duplication again. From anyone. I promise. You chose to post your vital information once, in a Star Trek thread instead of here. Suffer the children... Yours etc A non-arrogant SC It's a good thing he wasn't under 45 and Dutch or you'd claim I was responsible to check each and every one of those threads to see if the person posting decided it belonged in Death of 2015, Dutch folks, Under 45, or Star Trek before deciding it was 'ok' to post the link I took time out of my life to bring to all that visit here. To that end you get a 2-finger salute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaagheid 141 Posted March 8, 2015 As I stated before I have NO problem what so ever with people posting things double (on two diffirent places)... I have a problem that you find it so important that you where the first one to post it... Do you really have to announce that and stuff... Also I didn't post the obit in the Star Trek-thread, Bibliogryphon did... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted March 8, 2015 Only recently I noticed that the search function has one peculiarity. It reduces the search to the board you're currently in. So if you want to search the whole forum you need to be on the main page. If you search in this thread for a name, you search in this thread only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandomCanadian 105 Posted March 8, 2015 Fred Latremouille, Canadian radio DJ from BC (my province) passed away March 6 (age 69). He is unfortunately imfamous for being one of our former BC premier's drinking buddy prior to said premier's drunk driving arrest though his legacy is greater than that incident. I remember listening to Fred and Cathy in the mornings. I even had a couple of dates with one of Fred's producers back in the 80's. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/fred-latremouille-longtime-vancouver-radio-host-dead-at-69-1.2984244 I searched for the name and a thread on radio and found neither. I hope this is the right place to post. *fingers crossed* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only on screen appearance mentioned was Vivian holding her up to a camera as an infant. Wiki goes on to say Suzanne studied in hopes of being an actress, but those dreams would go unfulfilled (she appeared on what in essence was a school play) and later unwanted.
