It was Space lasers, fired by the Lizard alien rulers of our world that ended him.

Top Secret was by far his best film imo. It had so many clever visual and scripted gags in it far too many to mention but for me

'He's a little horse'
'Latrine' the French resistance fighter
The Cow Scene
The prop room
Peter Cushing in the book store, with the film running backward

And Omar Sharif in the fake doggy do scene

Bloody brilliant film

The Polaris mine scene in that film cracks me up every time. "It is a magnetic mine, so powerful that it can attract itself to submarines miles away" - mine accidentally gets activated and a submarine crashes throught the wall and attaches itself to the mine.

"You must go now, quickly. If they find out you've seen this your life will be worth less than a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory".

Not sure how 'famous' he was, but Bob Bryar, former drummer with the band, My Chemical Romance.

Well, the 1st notable death is the thread title....

'2024 Noteworthy Deaths Thread' would be better.

The parrot is dead thread: 2025
(That should cover most peoples unfortunate demise).

I’m wondering if this is a chemically enhanced death, or not.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Maybe you should have a read of his past and the third degree burns he had while filming a video and trying to carry on afterwards.

Did those injuries contribute to his early death then?

Former World Snooker Champion Terry Griffiths has died aged 77.

Suffered with dementia for a while. 77 isn’t much of an age these days

Indeed. Never the most exciting player, but seemed a decent enough fella, & certainly helped a lot of others coming along in the game. RIP.

Now Terry the taff was born in a gaff
In the valleys of the land of song
And as the reds he puts to bed
He likes to sing along
"If I win", he says with a grin
"It can only help me, can't it?"
"I'll celebrate, I'll buy another eight"
"Hairbrushes for me barnet"

RIP

Still got the single and remember buying it at the time along with the chicken song.

Sadly the next line is about Willie Thorne who has also shuffled off, getting older and stars from your younger days seem to be leaving at a fair rate.

I liked that Terry wasn't flash and showy, snooker is a serious game and if a shot required some thought he took his time to consider his options.

[Bonefish Blues]

Dry humour too, which I enjoyed.

For what seemed like several hours, sometimes.
