Tom O’Donnell, one half of Tom & Paschal.

183

US jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd has died aged 80. Reports say he was a modest and quiet man but I felt he often blew his own trumpet.

184

Ah that’s very sad. Tom and Paschal did a fantastic version of Tell me a story before I go to bed.

I suppose our thoughts should be with Paschal at this sad time.

Ah no, that is sad news. I remember as a child listening to him giving the GAA results every Sunday night on Radio One (in a time before mobiles, i-phones, Facebook and Twitter when radio was the main source of results). RIP.

He was born in Newcastlewest, Co Limerick. Has relations in NCW, Ballyhahill, Rathkeale and Croom.

Has it been officially confirmed as suicide?

If not then RTE would be idiotic to be reporting it any other way as they’d leave themselves wide open to a legal action and a massive waste of taxpayer money.

I doubt she’s in any condition to be taking legal action. It was confirmed as suicide on twitter earlier anyway.

well, shes confirmed dead, widely reported as from a self inflicted gunshot to the head, which would seriously limit her litigation options

198

Not her family’s though. Golden rule for for avoiding a defamation or libel case is to leave it out.

And ‘confirmed on Twitter’ is about as reliable as saying ‘I heard in Coppers at 4am’.
