Yes mate and at only 45, way too young.

Probably partly due to her lifestyle ?but the same age as the rugby? Chap a day or so ago ,my mrs dad was 42 a shorter life than weve been married !

Perhaps if countries didnt waste money killing each other we could fund saving them

She had brain cancer. My ex-wifes uncle died of brain cancer at about the same age and it had nothing to do with "lifestyle".

 

I often think of all the money that was squandered by both sides on the Cold War and the billions squandered on bloody religions and think on the advances in medical research that that money could have been used to fund instead.

It will be interesting to see the autopsy results if they are released whilst she did have a brain tumour did that kill her? ,brain aneurisms are common with cocaine and whilst it may not have killed her may have contributed long term who knows?

Who knows if the truth will come out she herself thought her problem was coke before the cancer was found perhaps her godfather has the last say what the actual cause was? It could be used as a warning of long term coke use (and perhaps used for good) or just a brain cancer and left at that ?

Unfortunately aneurisms are a daily nightmare in my household my mrs could drop dead of one any second with her epilepsy but i suppose most people can for any reason .

 

Not a nice thing to know you have brain cancer i feel sorry for tara i quite like the hippy chick type of woman kate moss is another fave of mine for the same reason and helen mirren in her youth lol

Ps you quoted me before i put the question mark after lifestyle ,i was asking a question rather than making a statement

My keyboard has the annoying problem of obscuring what i write so i have to post see my mistakes then edit ,perhaps its because i use my tablet horizontal rather than portrait ? I find it easier to read horizontal so use it that way there is no preview function innthe mobile version

 

And yes i would think huge bounds in cures could have been made but then a great deal of money would be needed to care for the elderly that didnt die of that that could have killed them before it was curable ,unfortunately its all down to money and like physics you dont get something for nothing ,you gain on one hand and lose on the other the universal equilibrium

If last year was anything to go by John, no need, it will get a regular bump to the top!

 

But I do smile when people say that 2016 was "The worst year for 'people' dying, ever."
