Could be the mathematician Tony Lewis, who is responsible for the Lewis-Duckworth rule in cricket along with Frank Duckworth ! Then again maybe not ...:unsure:  https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/28983084/tony-lewis-duckworth-lewis-rain-rules-fame-dies-aged-78

She's cult/obscure for sure not definitely not a nobody. And as you obviously didn't listen to the Annie Nightingale Request Show back in the day, or you'd know who Cristina was, your opinion is worthless.

 

I wonder if she was saying "is that all there is" as she was breathing her last?

 

I can only ever remember Annie Nightingale being on at 2am in the morning to be frank. And Dan P Carter was the only petson I'd stay up that late for.

He died with coronavirus, not of coronavirus. Subtle but important distinction. Would have been a contributory factor but his heart failure would have been significantly more of one.

A distinction without a difference.

 

In the end every human dies of the same thing.  Their heart stopped beating.

From an American millennial (under 40 crowd) standpoint, the biggest name to have succumb to COVID-19 is probably Adam Schlesinger, lead singer of the band Fountains of Wayne, best known for their song Stacey's Mom.

 

That song was probably the most well known song of the early to mid 2000s.  

I would also add Joe Diffie among the middle aged Generation Xers.  He was one of the biggest country singers in America of the 1990s and 2000s.  

 

To me, I would say the biggest names are Dr. James T. Goodrich, a well-respected neurosurgeon, and Terrence McNally, a beloved playwright whose best works include Kiss of the Spider Woman and Ragtime.

Schlesinger wasn’t the lead singer. That was Chris Collingwood. Very much still alive.

Depends, His heart failure probably would have been fatal sooner rather than later but it might not have killed him for weeks or months without the virus
