dean Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Casey Kasem, long time LA DJ and host of "American Top 40," has died at age 82 over complications from Parkinson's disease and dementia. His daughter, Kerri Kasem, said she and her siblings are devastated to lose their father. However, over the last year a legal fight had been waged between the siblings and Kasem's second wife. Courts eventually awarded Kerri executor of Casey's health decisions. This culminated with her signing an order not to feed or medicate her father three days before his death. Casey Kasem was worth $80 million at time of death. For someone as beloved in the U.S. As Casey Kasem, not a very nice way to die. RIP Casey!

SpiceMan Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Growing up I remember listening to his voice and thinking he sounded awesome. Generations of kids grew up with him. RIP Casey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 What a shame. I knew he was in bad shape, but didn't expect him to check out. He was a big name in Southern California when I was a young fellow and used to listen to him on KRLA from Los Angeles. That was before he went national. http://mashable.com/...m-dies-dead-82/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Gerry Conlon. Gerry was wrongly convicted in 1974 for the IRA Guildford bombing and spent 16 years in Jail unit he finally cleared his name, his father was also convicted as being a co-conspirator and died in prison, one of the worst cases of miscarriage of justice ever seen in the UK. The full story was told in the Daniel Day-Lewis Movie "In the Name of my Father" one of my favourite movies of all time. Go in Peace Gerry, the establishment really fucked you.

Boo Radley Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Naughty Nigel (Born? - Died 2014) From Stickman 22/06/14: "...Starting the news section of the column with the death of a porn star is a first and is perhaps an indicator of just how well-known this farang porn star was in the region. Naughty Nigel, or Notorious Nigel as he preferred to be called, passed away on Monday this past week in Bangkok. Nigel featured in sex clips - not full blown movies - and had unprotected sex with hundreds of girls and many transsexuals too. Needless to say, many rumours circulated about the medical condition Nigel was afflicted with, but it was malignant melanoma, or in layman's terms, skin cancer which gave him a red card. Nigel had sought alternative treatment but it was unsuccessful and he finally checked out this past Monday. The infamous Englishman has been in and out of Bangkok since the '90s and became one of the most recognisable farangs in South-East Asia as the farang porn star who featured in hundreds of clips with working girls from across South-East Asia. There was a time when Nigel was all over the Internet and he was frequently seen around Bangkok's bar areas. He moved around the region, making porn movies in Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and quite possibly elsewhere. On the forums of the day posters would often comment on the girls he did the dirty with, some getting some warped pleasure from saying that they had shared some of the girls Nigel had bedded. As he became better known, Nigel would find himself unwelcome in many Nana Plaza bars. Managers put the word out to door security to keep him out while mamasans were instructed to tell the girls to steer clear of him. I hadn't spotted him around the traps for several years, but occasionally I would hear reports that he was seen here or there. For some time he was said to live in Soi Sribumphen where he was often seen, a neighbourhood known for cheap accommodation, junkies and street walkers. Nigel lived on the fringes of society, was a drug dealer for a period and at one time was involved in transnational credit card fraud. Several years ago he was stabbed in the slums of Klong Toey, a huge scar later visible on his stomach. He had a business card that simply read: Notorious Nigel, listed his phone number and a last line that read: Fuck Off Man U..." http://www.stickmanb...Bar-Bangkok.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 My guess is that you could probably find an endless number of photos of him next to a toliet. What I don't get is how he managed to stay in LOS, being a porn star, drug user and drug trafficker. He wasn't hiding from immigration if he did go to neighboring countries to be in porn films.

Flashermac Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Years ago, I was sitting in a bar next to a stranger with a north of England accent. We exchanged the usual small talk and he seemed like an all right guy. After he left, a friend came over and said, "Do you know who that was?" Yep, that was Naughty Nigel. p.s. Nigel William Bickel. Apparently, he was 53. http://teakdoor.com/...ug-dealing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
