Starting to close in on my mid 70's.

Should you doubt this just look at what is happening in the news.

What Swango said. He wrote a book about his life in football. The end.
His family have not courted publicity, Venables himself has been out of the public eye for a number of years. He hasn't been flogging himself constantly.
Anyway, when it comes to health matters in particular, even the most publicity hungry person is allowed privacy (Venables does not come into this category before anyone jumps on me for this)

There is a world of difference between courting publicity and having a profession that puts you in the public eye.
Celebrities are not always celebrities of their own volition.

I'm only saying that knowing a cause of death is relevant.
Celebs are in the public eye, and they can be helpful to us all when it comes to our health.
The late queen supposedly died of old age.
Nobody does. QE2 was alleged to have died of bone marrow cancer.
Margaret Thatcher died of a stroke, and so on.
Cause of death is swept under the carpet for some reason.
My parents both died of heart problems. A lesson to me.
This is where knowing cause of celeb deaths can be so valuable.

Why would it be valuable???
Knowing the exact cause of death of QE2 would have no relevance to how I live my life. Knowing how Terry Venables dies wouldn't either.
It has nothing to do with being valuable. The only reason people want to know is out of curiosity.
If the Queen had myeloma, it should probably have been on the death certificate which it wasn’t. I guess there’s a chance the doctor deemed it unnecessary because she was also just old and frail and dying anyway.

"We're all going to die but that makes us the lucky ones."
That piece of trash is by Richard Dawkins.
We're all going to die because of the terrible cruelty of evolution.
We are not on the top branch of the evolutionary tree. We are on a twig that is the best that can be done.
When we die it's not going to be a peaceful death. It's very likely to be a violent one.
That does not seem to apply to celebs.

That's one of the best questions you could ever ask. I mean..........it was pretty exceptional.

Not that unique. Lots of similar acts in Amsterdam. Made many a visit there as a young sailor in the 1980s
Scary what they find and pull out of there 
. As we used to say, it would be like throwing a sausage into a cave

Good to hear her daughter is carrying on the family legacy.

Don't know if he's the sort of person where we celebrate his life or his death, but Henry Kissinger has died aged 100.
I'd forgotten he was still alive

Odd that I was reading this as the news came through that Shane MacGowan had joined the list.

God bless you Shane. One of my musical heroes. I was lucky enough to see him and The Pogues a load of times. What a songwriter he was.
I'm sat here with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Ridiculous as it's a miracle he made it past 30, never mind 65, but this is a sore one for me.

This thread brings back memories of my first job after leaving school and working in Millbank, London for an organistion, loosely connected to the Civil Service, same term and conditions, pay scales etc, but a separate agency. Many, many different departments, but in the one where I worked there were 2 rather mature ladies (whose names I still remember) who must have been there from the year dot and their first job every day was to scan the obiturary columns of all the major newspapers to see who had died. Their knowledge of people known to us was encyclopaedic.
