Celebrity Deaths 2009

Dublin West according to Wikipedia. Thought he was around Phibsboro for some reason (although Phibsboro might be part of Dublin West for all I know).

Mary Lou and Pascal Donohoe were the 2 beaten to the seat. Just remembered Roystons brother getting in on the back of Berties votes. Has Cyprian done anything of note for the residents of Dublin central other than having a pratt of a name?

Another sad death today - the son of celebrities in this instance:

From cnn:

Jett Travolta, son of actors, dies at 16

(CNN) – The 16-year-old son of actor John Travolta died Friday morning after suffering a seizure while vacationing with his family in the Bahamas, Travolta’s attorney told CNN.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston were vacationing in the Bahamas with their children when son Jett died.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston were vacationing in the Bahamas with their children when son Jett died.

“At this point, we know that John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s only son, Jett, had a seizure at around 10 a.m. this morning,” attorney Michael Ossi said. “All attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.”

The cause of death is not known, Ossi said. An autopsy will be conducted Monday. His body will be transferred to Ocala, Florida, for burial, he said.

Jett’s death “was completely out of the blue,” he said. “John and Kelly are happy when their children are happy. This is the worst day of John’s life.”

The Travoltas also have a daughter, Ella, 8.

Bahamian police said a caretaker at the West End resort where the Travoltas were vacationing found the teenager unconcious in the bathroom. Jett Travolta was taken by ambulance to Rand Memorial Hospital in Freeport and was pronounced dead on arrival, police said.

Jett Travolta had a developmental disability that his parents, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, have linked to Kawasaki disease, an inflammatory disorder of the artery walls that most commonly occurs in young children and can lead to heart disease.

According to the American Heart Association, “About 80 percent of the people with Kawasaki disease are under age 5. Children over age 8 are rarely affected.”

The causes of Kawasaki disease are unknown. Some scientists think it’s caused by an infectious agent, such as a virus. Some studies have noted a link between the disease and carpet cleaning chemicals.

“With my son … I was obsessive about cleaning – his space being clean, so we constantly had the carpets cleaned,” John Travolta told CNN’s Larry King in 2001. “And I think, between him, the fumes and walking around, maybe picking up pieces or something, he got what is rarely a thing to deal with, but it’s Kawasaki Syndrome.”

Jett Travolta was about 2 at the time, John Travolta said.

Cyprian scraped in by the skin of his nuts,he definitely got the lowest number of 1st preferences of any TD in the dail,he had something like 980 number 1 votes if i remember rightly.

Yer on a winner with Gazza,was reading about him on todays Indo and thought should have put him on my list hes a cert for 09.

I still reckon there’s a few dodgy entries at play here.

Would Gazza be classified as having some pre-existing illness? He seems seriously sick and deranged for years.

PS, there’s a documentary about him on Channel 4 tonight. Apparently his 12 year old son says he hates him and stuff.

His step daughter is a ride.

And dirty as well I would say.

One of the royals is going to snuff it for sure this year. Have a feeling it wont be the mother either. Think the tampon sniffer will kick it. Just think it was never meant to be for him

Michael O’leary if you are to read into his appearance in recent weeks…

That was the main reason I chose him, the man looks a wreck

Tough shit! He hasn’t got cancer so he’s in. Not my fault that the man is a lunatic

One of the paper millionaire propery developers is bound to die of stress or something in the next year. I’ll go for Jim Mansfield as he is fairly old anyway. Warren Buffet as next best.
