Just a heads up, it wasn't really resurrected by a mod, believe it or not someone reported one of the posts in this thread. That's why it popped up on our mods radar. I'm not sure why it seems like a perfectly reasonable thread topic to me.

I know I may be being particularly morbid, but it seems to me that we have seen an awful lot of people who are in the public eye die recently. There seems to be one every couple of days or so over the last couple of months. Is there something in the water?

Because Sue as EVERYONE is well aware this was posted with the intention of getting a rise out of me. That (according to YOUR rules) is trolling. Apparently in the opinion of the mods CO did not mean to be a wee troll. That is fine, but at least credit the members with some intelligence.

All you need to know about who's died recently. Enjoy.

Why are some in red??

Had a bloody ending!

Either cos they died a more bloody death or there is not an associated Wiki article on that individual

Those in blue have a Wikipedia page those in red do not.

They don't say how Titus, the gorilla died. But I miss him very much.

Thanks Steve - hmm google that for you Oink ???

Apparently he died succumbed to old age. He was 35 so he'd had a good innings.

Not bad for a primate!

What number on the Batting order?

six.

Ah so he also played Keeper I'm presuming, or was he just silly mid on?

That late in the rotation?

Mind you he was getting on.
