The "which famous person died today" thread

Cork gaa star Teddy Mc Cathy passed away suddenly, only 58.
The only player ever to win both a hurling and football All Ireland winners medal in the same season, just 2 weeks apart from each other.

We may have been at the same.gig!
I'd never heard of them but a friend dragged me down to the Band On The Wall in the late 80's to see The Groundhogs.
They weren't my scene but then they weren't shite either. They could play and boy did they play! That gig seemed to go on and on!
He looked 70 back in the late 80's!
 
The Iron Sheik.

They were the days of the WWF , television no one could miss.

Now joined the likes of Mean Jean and many other legends of the craft that first brought TRUE Reality Television to everyone with laughter and mayhem.

How could anyone forget Jesse the Body asking if jean knew the famous NASCAR driver Tom Petty to which he replied yes I do.

RIP Big man.
 
Ted-the-unabomber-Kaczynski died a couple of days ago.. more in-famous than famous I guess.. I've not read his manifesto but it's clear that he must've hated universities

I have to say that Katya Adele’s obituary piece on him for the ten o’clock news was a really poor piece of journalism, even by BBC standards.

Predictably pious and judgmental - as if people didn’t know about his tastes and preferences - and capturing nothing of his rise to power and influence over so many aspects of Italian life.

Either BBC R4 or R5 had an interview with Mickey the Loony (sorry, Miguel Delaney) as though he would have anything insightful to say about Berlusconi's time at Milan.
 
Christy Dignam, front man for Aslan.
Probably won't mean much to non Irish but he was a musical icon over here.
I've must have seen them over one hundred times over the years, pub,hotels and arenas. Both my kids have seen them multiple times, a huge part of many people's lives.
RIP Christy and thanks for everything.
