I see Dusty Hill, one of the bearded ones from ZZ Top died back in July 2021. No cause of death I can find anywhere other than he was having trouble with one of his hips! 🙄

The other bearded one, Gibbons says:
Gibbons was asked if he died without a cause and here is what he replied:

“That’s about all they can determine. Let’s face it, you don’t necessarily pass away from a broken shoulder or broken hip. Although the attending physician had earlier warned him that bursitis was not uncommon, even arthritis, and they said it’s not a very comfortable place to be. And I could tell that he was moving a little slow. He said, ‘Boy, this shoulder and hip are really starting to become a problem.’ But, as of this juncture, yeah, it was off to dreamland and beyond.”

RIP Dennis Waterman, pictured above in his fondly remembered role in 80s British TV show Minder (he's the red head)... in which he played Terry McCann, an ex-boxer and bodyguard to a very shady London businessman. He also appeared in New Tricks and numerous other series. He usually played no nonsense working class/blue collar British roles.

He was very famous in the UK, Australia and NZ... but I doubt North Americans will have heard of him!

None of the obits give any cause of death, other than his wife being at his side, so not sudden.

Thanks for extra information.

For anyone else reading ,Jewell (two Ls) is not to be confused with Jewel (one L). The latter's the blonde Alaskan singer with LDS connections, Jewell with two Ls was black.

RIP Ray Liotta (age 67). I can't find our any info on his death other than he died in his sleep, or took a heart attack while asleep. I know he had a drink problem, but he quit. Ditto smoking. He hadn't smoked for years.

What is it with news reports which give little info on stars' deaths? Is this a new thing or not?

He is best known for Goodfellas, playing Henry Hill, and did a number of other films. I think he was underrated by most directors and could have gone much further.

RIP, I thought he did really good work. And apparently he made quite the turn around with his life. I enjoy hearing of a good 'life turn around' story, even if it's of famous people.😊Nobody is beyond turning their life around

One of our ward members died in her sleep in her forties. That was ten years ago now. It was very unusual back then but seems to he happening more and more now. I've never heard of anyone I know dying in their sleep in their twenties or thirties.

As I've said above, I do place a disclaimer on these and don't think they are necessarily related. I try and note those that may be. But I am ageist in my selections, because basically between early childhood and middle age, your chances of dying are pretty low in developed countries. Many small babies do die, of course, but after five that number goes down considerably except for accidents, and doesn't start rising again until someone hits their forties. The risk of dying in the forties and fifties is still fairly low, and until recently many people got through their sixties and even seventies too.

I think 80 is a realistic expectation for many people in the west who are healthy. Many will reach 90 and beyond. A minority has always died young, but that's it, a tiny minority. People who die in their teens, twenties and thirties are the exceptions, not the rule. You are more likely to die by your own hand or in a car crash at that age.

Not a celebrity but her brother... Martine McCutcheon was on a major British soap opera (Eastenders) for a while and had a minor pop career for a while. She is probably not much known internationally - I think she appears in the awful film "Love Actually" - but she is very famous within the UK.

https://uk.yahoo.com/style/martine-mccu ... 37516.html
Martine McCutcheon has shared the sad news that her brother has died suddenly aged just 31, saying "my heart is forever broken".

The former EastEnders star and Love Actually actor posted a photo of herself with her younger brother Laurence John, known as LJ, and said that he had died two weeks ago with "no medical explanation".

She wrote: "My heart is forever broken…My baby brother, my gentle giant, sadly passed away, suddenly, 2 weeks ago. He was 31 years old.

"There is no medical explanation as to why we lost him so soon and whilst we investigate further, we are having to accept that nothing will bring our boy back to us."
What makes this even more tragic is that he was due to be getting married next month.
