It'll be cancer.
I'm not sure that's always true. This sums it up nicely, I think:
A short illness is a nice way of saying they died of a condition which didn't take them suddenly and they didn't fight for years. The were diagnosed with pneumonia or something similar and died a few days later despite efforts to save them.
For example author Sue Townsend is described in several places on the BBC website as dying "after a short illness". The truth is that she died a few days after suffering a stroke.
The "short illness" description is used because BBC policy is that an obituary celebrates the life of a person and doesn't focus on their death. The actual illness that took her life isn't really relevant so it's glossed over with a phrase that makes it clear her death wasn't sudden or prolonged but doesn't dwell on the detail.
Hammer, you are fucking dogshit at counting mate. How do you make 4 posts and still not end up on the next page.
You've already bullied one member off the board this week phonics, leave him alone.
I like phonics.
Who the hell? Surely being bullied by Phonics is similar to melting steel with a lightbulb.
That was probably my fault. I changed the title and Bruh took it out on Phonics.
Your mistake is thinking that Bruh is steel, when in fact he is a field of delicate flowers.
Weeds, you mean.
Christ that's good.
Etienne Tshisekedi was the hero of my 68-rated third year dissertation. RIP, big man, you'll be missed.New page
Étienne Tshisekedi died yesterday, I didn't realise. He was the Congolese Prime Minister at one point.
FFS he was genuinely one of the better posters. Has he stopped posting? I assume removing his avatar means so.
Come back @bruhnaldo.
I'm a twit
It was on the next page each time I posted it but someone is in the habit of deleting posts to thwart my valiant efforts.
It's a shame that it's happening, but nothing worth having ever came easy and I am determined to continue the fight for as long as it takes.
I already explained it to you. No-one is deleting your posts you nutter, you aren't counting the amount of posts correctly as vBulletin will automatically move your post to a new page based on average posting times to allow for fresh posts to come in while you were posting.
It'll be a shame when you get banned for spamming.
No he means that his post shows on the top of a new page (post 51, 101, 151, etc) but then someone deletes a previous post of theirs to make it post 50, 100, 150, etc and thus at the bottom of the previous page.

I can see every deleted post. It's not happening. I'm just trying to get him to stop trying tbh.
Phonics is a cunt. Like my wife.

Some day you'll be posting in the death thread for real. With a hammer in your other hand.
Someone should warn Hammer.
Tara Palmer Tomkinson.
Brain cancer she revealed last year.
Missed points.
For the 'Who?' lot:
No? Me neither.
Her family was very friendly with Prince Charles, I'm sure some kind of royal connection was the basis of her initial notoriety.
She was basically the prequel to Made In Chelsea.
The BBC are running with 'found dead', which makes it sound more like an overdose than a cancer death.
Another blow for the 1997-2005 world order.
She was fit for a bit.
I'm a twit
But she was proper mental, probably constantly coked up though.
She was rich, of course she was coked up. The Houses of Parliament probably has mirrored toilet seats.

I can't imagine a perforated ulcer leads to dying 'peacefully in your sleep'.
You know when you stub your toe and it knacks no much you can't even swear? It's probably like that.
I'm sure we all long for a world with entirely accurate obituaries.
'She died in excruciating pain, covered in several of her own bodily fluids and terrified of the aching chasm of nothingness opening up in front of her. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, floral tributes welcome'.
People usually shit themselves at the end too.
Where the fuck have you been, @Cord?
That's the best thing about cancer/Alzheimer's/MND. There's nothing left to shit.
Dr Hayward from Twin Peaks. Dropping like flies from that series.
Bill Paxton. Game over man.
Ffs only 61.
Who? I googled it and got some House of Representatives fella but no mention of his death.
EDIT: I'd googled Bill Paxon. Though I don't ever recall seeing that (actually dead) actor before either.
He was Hudson in Aliens.
The ultimate badass.
So I see. Never seen it though.
I see on Wikipedia he is a lead in the Training Day TV series. Is that it fucked then? I was going to give a couple of episodes a watch.
And people say you're heartless.
What now?
Apollo 13, Tombstone, Twister, Vertical Limit. Top contribution.
