Week 6 update
Another week, another triple update. First up, actor Leonard Fenton: Leonard Fenton: EastEnders actor who played Dr Legg dies aged 95 - BBC News
The BBC piece also notes he was a bit of a shite doctor. Fenton died at 95 so he's worth 30 Base Points to @pawpar, who also gets 15 for a Vice-Captain bonus and 50 for a Solo Shot for a total of 95 points.
==========
Second death this week was actress Monica Vitti: Monica Vitti obituary | Film | The Guardian
As Detournement said earlier - if you're into modernist Italian cinema, you've lost an icon. Vitti died at 90 so she's worth 35 Base Points for @JustOneCornetto and a Solo Shot for a total of 85.
==========
Going in a somewhat different direction, our last death this week is the terrorist Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi: Islamic State leader killed during raid by US special forces in Syria | Syria | The Guardian
You'd hate to think how many civilian casualties there'd be without the US military's signature preparation and precision.
Oh.
Lovely bloke! Kept himself to himself! In addition to that: ‘We are still shocked’: the Syrians who discovered Islamic State’s leader was their neighbour | Islamic State | The Guardian
Whenever I looked this guy up when someone picked him I was always taken by how cheerful he looked in his Wikipedia photo:
The account says he died at 45, so he's worth 80 Base Points, plus 30 for an Unnatural Causes bonus and as I'm in the process of typing this up I've just checked nobody actually picked him this year. I guess the lesson here is don't sleep on the leaders of the world's foremost terrorist organisations, they're always likely to blow themselves up.
