When he died on December 1, 1993, the official word was stomach cancer. This has been verified more than once on the news group and news letters. It's an unknown woman. It is not Ozzy, and there's no evidence that it's Bill Ward's first wife in front of their cottage as some have also claimed. According to Pete Sarfas, she was an actor who was hired for the photos. After the album had been released she met the band.

On November 29, 1986, while performing "An Evening With Cary Grant" in Davenport, Iowa, Cary complained about not feeling well. He was taken to the hospital where he died of a stroke a short time later. Cary was not buried. He was cremated and his ashes were given to his daughter, Jennifer, and his wife, Barbara. I do not know for certain what Jennifer and Barbara did with his ashes, but I have heard that they were scattered in the hills around his Beverly Grove house. See similar questions...

Yes, because she thought that the sufferings of the soldiers in the Crimean War had led to improvements in Britain that she had helped to bring about. Yes, almost certainly. A young man spent nine years before the war proposing marriage to her but she rejected him to do God’s work instead. No, probably not a practising one. She seems to have had passionate friendships with women in her adolescence and again late in life. But for most of her life she was happier in the company of men. See similar questions...

Let us be clear that we are NOT doing this to get rich. As experienced game developers, we could make reasonable salaries at almost any large game company. We have already poured a significant amount of personal money into this purchase, and have personally borrowed more money to complete this transaction. If possible, we plan to initially make only 10-20% of the salaries we could make at other companies while paying off our loans. See similar questions...

No, she died of extreme old age at 90. There is no possibility at all that she had syphilis. Her life is extremely well-documented and the symptoms of syphilis are not compatible with what we know about her. But this rumour about syphilis is quite common. I have been told that it was publicised by a priest who was opposing a church proposal to commemmorate her. He said she was an atheist who died of syphilis, and this was widely published in the press and resulted in the proposal being dropped. See similar questions...

ANSWER: I stopped reading that stuff in the paper. It got to be -- I never thought it would get like this, and I just got tired of looking at it. Like I say, I would open the paper, read the obituaries, see how my fighting Phills did, and that was about it. ANSWER: One thing. There was a question asked about whether or not anyone at my church or any of my acquaintances told me there were articles in the paper and explained what they were to some extent, and I answered no.

Dr Bach had cancer, but in fact died of exhaustion rather than because of the disease itself. Because he was only 50 when he died people have sometimes asked why he wasn't able to cure himself. What this question ignores is the fact that in 1917 he was given just 3 months to live. The truth is that he was curing himself, every day, for nineteen years - all the time it took for him to complete his work. See similar questions...

In my experience I have found the latter again to be the most common reason. See similar questions...

In 1990, Roald was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, Myelo-dysplastic anaemia. (For more information on this disorder, see this page or this page.) "I've been a bit off colour these last few months," he wrote in a newsletter to his young fans, "feeling sleepy when I shouldn't have been and without that lovely old bubbly energy that drives one to write books and drink gin and chase after girls." Roald died on November 23, 1990 at the age of 74 near his home in Oxfordshire, England. See similar questions...
