Weekly Death Blog - Week of 5/14-5/20 · 6:53am May 21st, 2016
Backing the death train up several months, this is one that somehow slipped under my radar:
On December 3, 2015, Scott Weiland, frontman of Stone Temple Pilots, was found dead on his tour bus. He died from a massive drug overdose after a long battle with substance addiction, cardiovascular disease, and hepatitis. He was 48.
And now, for this week's death notices. As usual, please see Wikipedia for a complete list of notable 2016 deaths.
- John Berry, 52, American musician (Beastie Boys), frontal lobe dementia. (He was one of the founding members back when they were a hardcore punk rock band in the very early 80s.)
- Darwyn Cooke, 53, Canadian comic book artist (Catwoman, The Spirit, DC: The New Frontier), cancer.
- Yūko Mizutani, 51, Japanese voice actress (Minnie Mouse, Black Jack, Tenchi Muyo!), breast cancer. (Mihoshi... ;_;)
- Morley Safer, 84, Canadian-born American journalist (60 Minutes), pneumonia.
- Alan Young, 96, English-born Canadian-American actor. Notable as his roles as Wilbur in Mister Ed and Scrooge McDuck in DuckTales.
Not another Beastie Boy. Now I am sadder
3960836 From a very weird cause of death, too.
Not Uncle Scrooge! ;A;
May they rest in peace.
