He had heart problems, had a heart attack a while back and was a smoker

Did he quit smoking?

 

[Shinealight]

She was gay and in a long term relationship.

Really?
I never knew that about her.

 

[Tatooine_legend1]

Did he quit smoking?

Makes sense then. I did hear on the radio that he had been in poor health for a long time.

 

[witchofwestbyfleet]

Did he quit smoking?

IIRC he went back to it - I could be wrong

They're going to have to do a post mortem as it's sudden so might not know for months.

It says he had a short illness so I don’t think they will do an autopsy?

 

[50sGirl]

Confirmed he did die 2wks ago and already cremated.

His death certificate is only dated today. I didn’t think you could have a funeral until the death had been registered.
Was he estranged from his daughter because I’d have expected her to be the informant?

Charlie Uchea of big brother fame has passed away. Rip

Where did you hear this? No news articles yet, OMG.

 

[Mrs Fluff]

It’s not Cliff's current partner, they lived together for years but he went off and married a woman in the 90’s. Cliff lives with another man now.

Yeah I understood Cliff's housemate was a former priest

 

[BigMavis]

I absolutely adore that film!

She was beautiful in Dorian Gray too. What a career!

@BigMavis oh Blithe Spirit?

Yes, did you catch it?

Announcement of the death of 60s legand Mary Quant at 93 years of age.

She really was a true original. RIP

 

[Pushyplumb]

She was also in Lace, the 1980's "bonkbuster". One of my all time favs with the oldest schoolgirls in history

"Which one of you three bitches is my mother?"

'Lace' I have thought about this series for years but couldn't remember the name. Thank you.

Raquel Welsh on The Graham Norton show was legendary. Him calling her a "grumpy old bitch"

 

[EnjoyingTheShow]

I think I read that Terry Hall had pancreatic cancer too I think it’s one of those that’s hard to spot until it’s quite advanced.

Do you have any links to this at all? My whole family is devastated by Terry’s death and we were looking for anything that was supposed to be the cause but can’t find a thing online at all. If you have anything concrete, would really appreciate It.

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

Bill Owen's Son?

Yes him

 

[witchofwestbyfleet]

It was Adama Niane, who had a supporting role - not the lead actor. He was still pretty young though, only 56
