Aww that's sad. He was by far the best thing about that show.

DMX: dead, man; extinct.

Greek and rap on the same day. What is this, a gyro?

That's that stuff in cough syrup. Are they taking it off the shelves?

Fucksakes, I took Phil off my list this year.  I don't think I've ever successfully picked an impending corpse.  Bah, etc.

Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame, 38, possibly eating disorder-related. I didn't know much about her but this is very sad:

Oh god I remember her being a bit odd on that sick show. Pretty grim news.

Very sad. A million times sadder than Phil.

She's struggled with anorexia since she was a child, it was brought up during her time on Big Brother, and she'd seemingly struggled with it off and on in the years since. But a couple of months ago her family posted a GoFundMe to try and raise funds to get her specialised treatment... the photo came up on my Twitter timeline and the images of her were scary. Obviously it was too late and things only for worse since.

Very sad news.

I was in the same room as Nikki Graham 12 years ago and she was worryingly small even then.

She was a great character and this death is far too young and tragic.

Yesterday it was a Prince. Today it's a princess. Bit more torn up over today's. Queen must be quaking it.

Elderly Sumo Prophecy

It's usually a heart attack with long term anorexia, isn't it?


Blue Jam

Heart failure due to cardiac muscle wastage, yes.

Shirley not!
Shirley Williams gone at 90. One of the Gang of Four (bass player, I think).

Mr_Simnock

Apparently, according to the BBC, she quit Labor in 1981 because of it's drift to the left, at least this centrist had the decency to just leave the party

Aww gutting, I enjoyed her in everything I saw her in.

Glad she's dead, now.

Your point being...?

Don't want to speak for him but maybe the fact that anyone with any connection whatsoever to Harry Potter is described in that way, like it was the only thing thing of interest about them.

RIP

Blue Jam

Yes, it's a shame that so many great British actors are described as "Harry Potter actor" in biographies and obituaries just because they've all been in at least one of the numerous Harry Potter films. Richard Griffiths, Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Ashley Maguire, Helen McCrory. It aint fair.
