Rolling Obituary Thread: 2016

I actually didn't know about that. Holy fucking shit:

SHE was, until six days ago, the young woman who did not exist. Excised from school photographs, barred from class theatrical productions and left off the list of scholastic achievements displayed on her college noticeboard, Flora Keays has been forced, by law, to remain invisible. Until now.

Yep.

I get the impression Sara Keys agreed to the injunction initially for "not being bothered by press, allowed to live their life in privacy" reasons, until she discovered what it actually meant, at which point it was too late..

"A particularly nice man", according to William Hague.

Didn't know that about Cecil Parkinson, what an abominable fucking scumbag.

nor did i, that's fucking heavy reading.

On Sunday, Mr. Feeney died in a New Jersey hospital of complications from a staph infection in his kidneys, his mother, Reba Willis, said.

Mr. Feeney, who was 32, went into cardiac arrest at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, N.J., the town where he grew up, just west of New York City, according to an obituary in The News. His sudden death was mourned by many in the journalism world, from reporters who worked with him on the city’s crime beat to those who fought alongside him to improve diversity in American newsrooms.

Signe Anderson of the Jefferson Airplane (that's her on It's No Secret) died the same day as Paul Kantner.
