The R.I.P. Thread

Comedy Central does everyday

They'll probably put a place card in front of every episode mourning him.

Very much thrust from nowhere to world fame very quickly, had done a few things before but could walk down the street and have no problems. All 6 of them stated whilst it was great to do the show they felt very isolated at times and this in the 90’s when MH understanding especially of those earning well was dismissed as weakness.

That's quite a shock. Very young but I know he had lots of problems with addictions that could have affected his heart.

His autobiography is mostly about the miracle he was alive
His addiction to pain killers was insane. At one point taking over 100 tablets a day.

Nottingham Panthers' Adam Johnson dies after suffering a cut to his neck from a skate in a Challenge Cup match against the Sheffield Steelers.

What shocking and tragic news this is to wake up to - I’m not a big ice hockey fan but plenty of mates in Nottingham who are and it’s a very close knit community. Horrible.

A horrific incident. RIP.

Just watched this.

Let's just say it's an interesting discussion.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

I’ll stop now before Padd accuses me of being a ghoul and posting relevant stories on relevant bits of the forum

Johnny might be along to do the same.

Darn - I was just about to start typing that and you have denied me my moment you rotter! It sounds a dreadful incident and the Ice Hockey authorities have at least acted very quickly in making neck guards compulsory.

Doesn't actually cover the elite league where this tragedy happened though.

Any reason why not given? I only saw the headline and assumed it was blanket

 

[Stan Hullis]

The elite league are advising use for now and looking to mandate in the new year - from what I saw on the news last night.

More than one ice hockey governing body in the UK. The Elite league has teams in Scotland and NI so not specifically covered by this as it's England only.

Has anything like this happened before?

"Waiting" until the new year seems a bit...

I don't really follow Ice Hockey but people who do seems to suggest this was a freak accident.

I guess there are parallels to the tragic Phil Hughes death in cricket in 2014 which then mandated the stem guards for cricket helmets also.

The video was on twitter earlier, didn’t look like an accident with the opposing player comes in with his foot at neck high

I thought that.

Being reported as an apparent drowning. He was found at his home.

Not in his pool, but in his bath!

 

[Tony Towner]

Something macabre about going on Twitter to find that video
