The two fat ladies were already both dead. Kim's "other half" (Aggie) is still alive.

I thought Rosemary Shrager was one of the 2 Fat Ladies. Well she is a chef at least.
Edit :not only is Ms Shrager very much alive she is very fit for her age

Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota, and his brother Andre Silva, dead after a car crash in Spain. Jota was 28. Absolutely terrible. RIP

This is unbelievably sad when anyone dies at a young age but I remember Laurie Cunningham dying in a similar way.
As tempting as it is to question driving a Lambo down a rural road at speed this can happen to anyone.
Poor bastard was only recently married.
His wife mist be devastated

As you say, it might be tempting for people to question the driving but he had a tyre blowout and that's not something you can really prepare for.

I don't think this has been mentioned anywhere but Richard Whiteley's partner and DC guest Kathryn Apanowicz died earlier this year.

Fauja Singh. He ran marathons, supposedly over the age of 100, and supposedly being 114 when he died. He didn't even die of "old age". He was hit by a car while walking. I don't think most people think he was legit though. He was older than the verified oldest living man, who is 112 and he was just wandering around. Most oldest living people are just sitting around in a home. Elliott, presumably you agree on this one?

Mark Snow, who wrote the X-Files theme.

Felix Baumgartner, who jumped out of space or something.

I think the thread was about all iterative named people being worried after a spate of them died recently although both Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osborne have different birth names
