Some recent passings:

Bryan Cowgill, Controller of BBC One and Managing Director of Thames Television, at 81

Les Crane, talk-show host of the 1960s, at 74

Gyorgy Kolonics, winner of four Olympic medals in canoeing and whom was planning on competing in his fifth Olympics, at 36

Old news, but previously unreported: Lyall Watson. Nobody had him.

Never mind.
