Week 43 update

Three deaths this week. First one is from August, singer Faye Fantarrow: Faye Fantarrow dead: British singer mentored by Eurythmics' Dave Stewart tragically dies aged just 21 after battling a rare brain tumour | Daily Mail Online

Quote

Faye was diagnosed with the rare glioma in her brain in September last year. 

It was a devastating blow for the family as she had twice beaten leukaemia after being diagnosed with cancer when she was aged eight and 18, where she had a bone marrow transplant. 

Faye had radiotherapy and chemotherapy and raised more than £265,000 towards treatment in America after being diagnosed last year. 

But was too ill to return to the states for further care following her first visit and the excess funds were donated to charity in her memory.

Faye said at the time of the release of her single AWOL in May: 'Life very rarely goes to plan, but the plan was always to write, sing and perform, and I've been lucky to be able to do that.'

I don't even have anything else to say. Life isn't fair. Hopefully that money makes a difference.

She died at 21 so she's worth 104 Base Points to @cdhafc1874, with a Solo Shot giving him 154 points in total.

==================

Up next is Donald Angus, 27th Chief of the Clan Cameron: King mourns his old friend as clan chief dies aged 77 | Daily Mail Online

Quote

IT IS a revered Scottish family title which has been passed down by 27 generations of Camerons.

Now Tory MSP Donald Cameron is to become the 28th chieftain of Clan Cameron after the passing of his father last week at the age of 77.

Donald Cameron of Lochiel, who was the 27th chief of Clan Cameron, died ‘peacefully’ in his sleep at Achnacarry in Lochaber, seat of the clan’s chiefs, on Friday.

Known as Cameron of Lochiel, the name by which all Cameron chiefs are known, he was a close friend of the King and also served as Lord Lieutenant of Inverness from 2002 until 2021.

His son, MSP for the Highlands and Islands, will become the clan chief. Paying tribute, he said: ‘My whole family is devastated by the sudden death of my father last week. He was the most courageous and loving of men, who adored his family, friends and the wider community in Lochaber.

I don't have anything to say here either. The articles say he was a good guy. I'll believe them.

Cameron died at 77 so he's worth 48 Base Points to @sophia who also gets a Solo Shot for a total of 98 points.

==================

Final death this week is Matthew Perry. I'm not going to add him because the details of his death are unconfirmed, and could potentially add an Unnatural Causes bonus. If it was drugs (doesn't seem like it) or if he drowned in his hot tub after a heart attack (might be) then there will be a bonus applied.

Charlie Aitken, record appearance maker of England's greatest football club. Sad times, I met him and you couldn't imagine a nicer bloke. RIP Charlie. 🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Chandler was my favourite character in friends - there was a discussion on here a while back when a few of us agreed that Phoebe was a truly awful character and shouldn’t have been involved at all.

I think it was a great show considering how basic a concept it all was.
