Miguel Sanchez Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 (edited) Week 24 update Two deaths this week. Up first, Simon "Not Him" Cowell: Simon Cowell: TV presenter and conservationist dies - BBC News Quote A TV presenter and conservationist from Surrey has died after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer. Founder and CEO of the Wildlife Aid Foundation (WAF) in Leatherhead, and presenter of Wildlife SOS, Simon Cowell died at the age of 72 on Sunday. He dedicated his life to wildlife and worked to ensure countless injured and orphaned animals were given a second chance in the wild. His family said: "He was passionate about the importance of environmental education and hopeful for a future in which man respects and protects the natural world." I'm not sure I agree with not including the person's name in the opening line of their obituary, but here you go. Cowell died at 72 so he's worth 53 Base Points for @El Guapo, @JustOneCornetto and @Lofarl. =============== Second death this week allows me to use one of my favourite words - chantreuse for Francoise Hardy: Françoise Hardy, French pop singer and fashion muse, dies aged 80 | Françoise Hardy | The Guardian Quote Françoise Hardy, whose elegance and beautifully lilting voice made her one of France’s most successful pop stars, has died aged 80. Her death was reported by her son, the fellow musician Thomas Dutronc, who wrote “Maman est partie,” (or in English, “mum is gone”) on Instagram alongside a baby photo of himself and Hardy. Hardy had lymphatic cancer since 2004, and had undergone years of radiotherapy and other treatments for the illness. In 2015, she was briefly placed in an induced coma after her condition worsened, and had issues with speech, swallowing and respiration in the years since. In 2021, she had argued in favour of euthanasia, saying that France was “inhuman” for not allowing the procedure. Let's have a listen to her breakthrough hit: I see the appeal. Hardy died at 80 so she's worth 45 Base Points for @Arabdownunder, @Bully Wee Villa, @LoonsYouthTeam and @Ned Nederlander. After those, the standings look like this: 1. mozam76 528 2.
