Subject: Celebrities Who Died Of Coronavirus

Written By: Indy Gent on 04/07/20 at 11:40 pm

I hate to be the one who starts this thread, but there have been too many cases of famous people who have died from this disease. So in order to keep this forum from crashing, we should only list those who have actually died from COVID-19. (Example: Legendary New Orleans Saints kicker Tom Dempsey died of the virus, but has not had a thread started. And John Prine the most recent casualty.) Other celeb deaths will each have their own thread. And stay safe, Everyone. :\'(

To keep us up-to-date there is an informative link on the people that had sadly died from COVID-19.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_from_the_2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic

To make things easier with this sad topic, I will concentrate of the sadly depart in the United Kingdom.

...and would it be best it this topic be a sticky, for it may get lost onto page 2 or deeper?

So far there has been three higher profile losses in the UK

April 2nd 2020 - Eddie Large, a British comedian. He was best known as one half of the double act Little and Large, with Syd Little.

April 4th 2020 - Alexander Thynn,  the 7th Marquess of Bath, a British aristocrat, landowner, politician, artist, and author. Ranked 359th in the Sunday Times Rich List 2009 with an estimated wealth of £157 million, he was known for his eccentric choice of clothing and for developing Longleat as an animal sanctuary and tourist attraction.

April 7th 2020 - Nipper Read, a British police officer and boxing administrator. He was Detective Chief Superintendent of the Met's Murder Squad in 1967, and the efforts of detectives led by him were responsible for the conviction of Ronnie and Reggie Kray.

Fellow Goodies star Graeme Garden said he was "terribly saddened by the loss of a dear colleague and close friend of over 50 years". "He was a funny, sociable, generous man who was a delight to work with," Garden said. "Audiences found him not only hilarious but also adorable. His loss at this dreadful time is particularly hard to bear, and my thoughts are with Christine, Ben, Edward and their families." Brooke-Taylor's career spanned more than six decades and his comedic roots lay in the Cambridge Footlights, which he joined in 1960.

E.T., Empire of the Sun, Bugsy, Temple of Doom, The Color Purple, Harry and the Hendersons, Congo, Van Helsing. What a resume.  :\'(

Born on June 14, 1942, in New Orleans and raised in Los Angeles, Daviau was introduced to Spielberg in 1967. "Steven had seen some of my 16mm work,” he said in a 2007 interview. "He and I shared a great love of movies."

"I wanted to break into the film business, and my 8mm and 16mm films weren’t doing the trick," the director said. "When I was about 18, I'd worked with Allen on a short film that was never finished called Slipstream; it was shot by Serge Haignere, but Allen operated the B camera, and Allen and I became good friends."

Daviau was the cinematographer on the 26-minute long Amblin' (1968), which Spielberg said in 2007 "was a pretty big break for both of us. I don’t know how crazy we are today about our individual work in that film, but I always think of Allen as a terrifically versatile cinematographer."

A pastor and former presidential candidate in Cameroon who claimed he had cured coronavirus via laying hands has reportedly died of the infection. Frankline Ndifor died on Saturday at the age of 39, Voice of America reported. The authorities had to use force to enter Ndifor’s residence because his followers, who believed he was a prophet, had blocked entry as they prayed for his resurrection. “This is a pastor that has been laying hands and claiming that he cures COVID-19,” one of his followers, Rigobert Che, told VOA. “If you, the person that claims that you are curing COVID-19, you are dead, what about the fellow people that were affected by the COVID-19? Now that he is dead, I do not know how the people that he was laying hands on will be healed.”

Retired General, and former US National Security Advisor under the Bush SR and W.J. Clinton Administrations, Colin Powell is the latest COVID Casualty passing away today due to complications of COVID.  News reports are saying that he was fully vaccinated.  I guess the vaccine that he took wasn't in effect and then he came into contact with somebody who had the virus and didn't know that they had it?


Perhaps he came into contact with a vaccinated person.
