From that article that I linked to earlier "Last January, it was mistakenly announced that B-movie legend and 1993 Penthouse Pet of the Year Julie Strain had passed away. The announcement was quickly retracted - but in a sad twist of fate, friends and family are confirming that Strain has passed away almost one year to the day after that erroneous report. She was 58 years old." 58 minutes ago, Aim Here said: Closest so far is an offhand mention in a (paywalled) opinion column in the Times. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/doomsters-have-all-they-need-to-cancel-2021-k88vv7pr0 Does it mention that she's deid? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 3 minutes ago, Bishop Briggs said: Nope.

The announcement was quickly retracted - but in a sad twist of fate, friends and family are confirming that Strain has passed away almost one year to the day after that erroneous report. She was 58 years old." Does it mention that she's deid? You can see it in the link, just before it fades out to the paywall nag screen: '... the likes of Albert Roux, Michael Apted, Bond girl Tanya Roberts, the Indian novelist Ved Mehta, Julie Strain out of Naked Gun 33⅓ and the Irish racehorse Zoffany have already been mown down like so many dogs ..." In the absence of a Daily Mail obituary, it'll come down to an umpire's adjudication as to whether an offhand, probably unfactchecked, mention in a weak, bottom-of-the-barrel filler article by the shitiest member of the Coren clan constitutes a legit confirmation/obituary. For comparison, the other names in his list of third-stringers and remind-me-who-the-f**k-they-were-again celebrities that have died in 2021 so far includes two names (Ved Mehta and some racehorse that won three races in 2010) that didn't even warrant a qualifying UK obituary, even if dead horses were allowed in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
