Whitehouse 872 Posted May 16, 2018 Damn! Didn't notice Comic writer William van Cutsem a.k.a. William Vance died. Another hero of my youth. His work is so realistic and so cool. What a loss for the comic world. Just do the google search and see this masterful art! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,513 Posted May 18, 2018 Stephanie Adams, Playboy Playmate for November 1992, has jumped to her death from a Manhattan window, killing both herself and her seven-year-old son. I knew I recognised the name from somewhere: she was in the press last year after she allegedly fired her (now ex) husband's yoga teacher for being too attractive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 18, 2018 Special place in hell for that twat. RIP to her son. Edit: What, no video footage? Every one of the NYC skyscrapers has cameras all over. There's some sick bastard security guard making popcorn going over the 24-hour footage right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weirdly I checked a year or so ago to see if the actor from it was still alive and a suitable DDP pick, but he died in 2009. So late night Channel 4 has always been that fucking weird?

Saw the first one about a decade ago, very interesting about how Peter Hain apparently got stitched up by the SA secret police in the 70s, and there was this old farmer who got arrested for breaking an official secrets act thing he didn't even know had existed.

No a VIP but today an Italian father did the same with his young daughter. Pushing her off a viaduct and jumping after her. Both didn't survive. It seems to be connected with another crime the same day in which a woman was pushed from the fourth floor of a building, also dying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounded gruesome and shitty enough way to die so I go to Wiki for obit it goes back to your Legacy link and I read it thrice not a word about a fire, maybe they saw candle on front of Legacy and made assumptions?
