Notabug April 7, 2023 Share April 7, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, AstridM said: It’s a felony to falsify a death certificate, so I have no idea what motivation they think the coroner would have to do so. Just nonsensical. They may have a point if the coroner didn't do an autopsy as they claim. It seems unlikely to me that he/she didn't, though. No decent coroner would sign off on a death from natural causes in a young guy leading a healthy lifestyle without having actually examined his heart and seeing the atherosclerosis. Anyone who dies outside of a hospital or within 24 hours of admission to the hospital is a 'coroner's case' meaning that the cause of death needs to be legally determined. The only exception is for people who are known to have a terminal illness and are under a doctor's care. Then, the coroner calls the doctor and asks if he or she is willing to verify the terminal illness and sign the death certificate. If so, nothing more needs to happen. This guy was thought to be pretty healthy and died suddenly at home, in his sleep, if I recall correctly. No way the coroner doesn't do a full fledged autopsy looking for a stroke or heart attack etc and, if the cause is not immediately obvious, sent tissue samples out for further evaluation including for the presence of drugs or toxic substances. The results on that can take months to finalize. Also, the family can request the coroner to perform an autopsy even if he/she doesn't think it is needed. They can even bring in their own pathologist to do one. If the family doesn't believe the coroner's findings, then they should've asked someone else to do another one. And held off any plans for cremation until then. Sounds like maybe there is some sort of family turmoil there.

I've always thought that court records for minors should stay confidential. That's not actually how she was outed. It was common knowledge in some circles in New Zealand who she was (particularly among the girls they went to school with), and when the film was getting ready to be released, someone told a reporter. The reporter did some research, namely in Perry's cryptic parent notes in a reference work on authors, then called and asked Perry's agent for confirmation since there wasn't a concrete way to prove it otherwise, which she denied and laughed at. Perry then had to tell her agent it was true and they needed to get ahead of the story. Peter Jackson has always said he never wanted their identities revealed. In any event, I've read a couple of different books that talk about how Perry was outed, and they never mention court records playing a role. It was people in the community continuing to talk about it and remembering, partially because of the brutality of the crime and partially because of the notoriety. It was heavily covered in the NZ press at the time. People were much more respectful of the other girl's privacy (it took many more years for her identity to be revealed), and the gist I got is some thought it was really unseemly that Perry went on to write murder mysteries after she'd in fact murdered someone and that she should own what she'd done if she was going to be a public figure.

merylinkid April 14, 2023 Share April 14, 2023 No more Pitt or Monk books. The Monk books were about to collide with the time the Pitt books started, I wanted to see what happened. The Pitt books were being carried on with Pitt's son who was now a lawyer. And heading towards WWI. I liked her books. I will miss having them to look forward to. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136372-milestone-moments-all-the-celebrity-vitals/page/10/#findComment-7958686

Jaded April 19, 2023 Share April 19, 2023 (edited) Tim Curry is trending on Twitter. When I saw that I prepared for what I thought would be bad news upon clicking on his name. Instead it's people wishing him a happy birthday...🎂 * * Edited April 19, 2023 by Jaded 12 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136372-milestone-moments-all-the-celebrity-vitals/page/10/#findComment-7965653
ABay April 19, 2023 Share April 19, 2023 He was hilarious in the best Psych episode, "American Duos", where he plays a Simon Cowellish judge of a talent show. Gina Gershon is also fantastic. 7 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136372-milestone-moments-all-the-celebrity-vitals/page/10/#findComment-7965805
