Was the oldest living England Test cricketer. That distinction now belongs to Micky Stewart OBE (wiki, born 1932), then M.J.K. Smith (wiki, born 1933) and Dick Richardson (wiki, born 1934).

Updated the lists of U.S. WWII veterans within the 3 pillars of federal government following the recent deaths of Henry Kissinger and Austin Murphy. 11 names left now. 2 September 2025 will mark 80 years since the end of WWII. How many of the above will still be here? I reckon about 3.

Never give up hope young drol. Obit for Robert R. Holt.

Sad. His wife was really lovely. Warwick in real life is a bit of a cunt – plays up well to the cameras (never meet your heroes kids).

TikTok creator Kyle Marisa Roth dead at 36. Known for spurting Hollywood gossip and controversy.

My understanding is still that the cancer is in the bladder, though it has "spread". I'm hearing all kinds of things, from "close shave", "caught early enough", though one of my doctor friends recently told me "the cancer is everywhere in his body now". Not sure what to believe tbh.

As it’s paywalled: “Gerald Moon was born on April 2, 1943 and died on February 3. His partner David Anscombe predeceased him in 1995.”

They’re dying in order. All eyes on Chubby.

Donald Lee Stewart died on January 24, 2024, aged 84, according to an unsourced edit to his Wiki page. I can't find anything on Google or Facebook. He was usually known as "Apostle Stewart". I can find an old page on Facebook that hasn't been updated since the early 2010s. All of his websites are long down.

Thérèse Gouin Décarie (wiki) dead at 100.

Yvon Gattaz was killed off on both French and English Wikis today by an anonymous French IP, claiming that he died today. Could be bs, could be something.

Yeah, already seen it posted by YW in the DDP24 thread.
