Celebrity Deaths 2017

Have you watched Carey do the same thing - ‘play against type’?
I can’t stand his comedy - but he is an excellent actor ‘against type’.
Watch Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, for example.

Too young and I desperately hope Walls wasn’t using a journalistic euphemism when he said “last time I saw him he was in good spirits”

Decent commentator from what I remember in the cricket.

69 is ■■■■■■ old.

Not when the average is 80.

A HIGH profile former athlete has died after a car crash on the Gold Coast.
The sportsman died at Gold Coast University Hospital after being rushed there by ambulance.
The Gold Coast Bulletin is reporting the man — a well known retired sportsman — suffered a medical condition at the wheel.

No name as yet

Should we just speculate and make stuff up like the media do?

The man is a former national champion and remains heavily involved in sporting circles on the Gold Coast

That rules out quite a lot

My Facebook feed is telling me it is possibly some guy named Dean Mercer

And I had to Google to check out who he was … “high-profile” is a bit of a stretch

Dean and Darren Mercer used to blitz the budgie smugglers on Sunday arvys on channel TEN.

So far (by my count) social media has killed off
