Civil Rights activist Dorothy Height died yesterday at age 98.
Aptly named band You Say Party! We Say Die! drummer dies in hospital after collapsing on stage.
Devon Clifford, 30, died after he “experienced a massive brain hemorrhage resulting from congenital defects while onstage in Vancouver on Friday night and fell into a coma. A surgery was performed but sadly doctors were unable to save his life.” the family said in a statement.
Great band. Another pointless Canadian death. And surpisingly enough, a rock and roll death not involving “misadventure” of any sort.
Speaking of rock stars with brain hemorrhages… it’s not looking good for Bret right now… 
It could also be code for “this guy was a fucking giant.” Steele was closer to 7 feet tall than 6. Lots of tall guys go early. Like Great Danes.

Well… I saw the movie many years ago.
Willard Wirtz, who served as U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1962 to '69, has died at the age of 98. Wirtz, the last surviving member of President John F. Kennedy’s Cabinet, kept his post after Kennedy was assassinated and succeeded by Lyndon Johnson.
Emily Post dies with her forks in perfect order.

Oh crap, I was actually thinking of Miss Manners and confused the whole thing. Well, as they say in polite society, gag me with a donkey’s dong!
Dorothy Provine is down and out.
Awaiting the final accounting, but April might be the month when Death took a Holiday. Kind of slacking off there, Reaper. Let’s get busy!
Yeah. Kept on looking to see if there were updates here, and never found much last month.
I was skipping an April update because there was only one death (Matt Cook) which only one person (me) got.
Sounds perfectly reasonable. Now… will May be above average? Only time will tell!
I predict it will be below average … by about six feet!
There again, it might go up in smoke.
Lynn Redgrave is reported not coming down for breakfast
Sorry to hear that, but I don’t get the breakfast reference.
Kama Chinen, who had been considered the oldest living human, has died in Japan one week before she would have turned 115. With Chinen’s death, the title of “supermost supercentenarian” passes to Eugenie Blanchard, a Frenchwoman born in 1896.
