[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

A crowd funding appeal has been launched for MC Daddy Chester, who ravers of a certain vintage may remember. He has fallen on very hard times:

Relevance to DL? A homeless man in London has a life expectancy of 30 years less than those who have accommodation, with an average age of death being 47. Chester is 49.

One of Santa Fe’s most colorful characters died Tuesday in a building on the Santa Fe Plaza, where he long had been a constant presence, helping homeless people, giving guided tours and posing for photographs.

Tom “Doc” Murray, 77, who called himself the "last of the mountain men," died of natural causes in the Santa Fe Arcade at about 2 p.m. Tuesday.

I love his photo in the story. But most vagrants have awesome photos I suppose.

Like every Western metropole¹ Rotterdam has vagrants, but not very visibly. Not like Doc Murray, they're not.

 

¹I never expected to use that phrase outside the context of RAF propaganda.

Noted Siberian hermit Agafya Lykova, 71, the last surviving member of the reclusive Lykov family, has been evacuated by helicopter from her home in the wilderness in order to receive medical treatment.

 

Vice produced a documentary about Lykova a couple of years ago. She didn't meet anyone from outside her immediate family until she was over thirty years old.

Are we to assume she didn't get a proper shagging until she was at least 30, or, alternatively....

This will be one of my favorite obits all year!

 

Concepcion Picciotto, the protester who maintained a peace vigil outside the White House that was widely considered to be the longest-running (30 YEARS) act of political protest in U.S. history, has died.

 

RIP ma'am!!

Yes, it should be moved as she certainly doesn't seem to be a homeless vagrant or tramp. Nor is she a porn star.

I'd just put this in the Possibilities thread, unless she qualifies as a Foreign Personality?

Yes, at first, I mistook her for a local eccentric. But she is actually revered there.

For nearly two decades, Wilson Brown – better known as “Willie the Can Man” -- was a familiar sight in East Lansing (MI), pushing a shopping cart he referred to as his “Lexus” and collecting returnable bottles and cans.

Brown, 56, died Tuesday, after battling cancer.

"Willie the Cancer Man"

[Whitehouse 872]

A Dutchman living in the south of France torched his own castle after he was convicted to 14 months of jail. He peppered the fire brigade with shot as they tried to tackle the blaze. They had to retreat obviously and the castle burned to the ground. Today the body of the man was found in the rubble.

 

Pretty selfish of him to torch an ancient castle....

 

The castle in better days.

[Toast 16,137]

Where is this castle, and what had the guy done to be jailed?

[time 8,599]

Where is this castle, and what had the guy done to be jailed?

Its Chateau La Tour, Saint Pierreville, Ardeche. He'd been in trouble for using the castle as a hotel, illegally a couple of years ago (English language report of the hotel bust.). He was wanted for setting fire to his girlfriends car and possession of a weapon. Report from Le Dauphine on the initial fire and subsequent siege (in French but translates pretty well).

Later update from Le Dauphine.

Nothing to do with DP directly, but this man's accomplishments need to be noted.

 

Knoxville police arrested "Super Dave" Martin for the 276th time on Friday during a sweep of aggressive panhandlers that removed nine people from busy street corners and along interstate exit ramps. David Eugene Martin, 39, who lists a Badgett Avenue address, calls himself "Super Dave" and that moniker is well-known among the officers of the Knoxville Police Department. His antics have included urinating in front of customers and children in a business parking lot, passing out partially in a downtown street and sidewalk, entering vehicles of customers at drive-thru windows and refusing to exit and lying down in the parking lot of a fast food business to block traffic in order to solicit money, according to records.

Man had sex with a hog in Finland – interrupted by animal caretakers! The man was willingly the receiving partner!

From police report:

A man surrendered himself to a romantic intercourse with a 250 kg male pig. The man was down as the receiving partner. Animal caretakers found the couple in action, and told the naked man to stop it.

The man, with his pants still down, tried to escape the vulgar scene, but was slowed down because by tripping in the pig shit.
Finally he was able to escape with his car. The man managed to make a go for a hefty 40 km’s, before he ditched his car, being drunk. This is how the police found him.

His suspected crimes do not include animal sex, because that is legal in Finland.
