One of the greatest voices I’ve heard.

The Cranberries were never my cup of tea, but yes, she had a marvellous set of pipes and they knew how to write a song. I wonder what the cause of death was, 46 is way too young - I'm guessing there's still nothing that's been confirmed in that department.

Had been dealing with depression for a while.

Yes, a couple of news articles have made reference to her 'ups and downs', so I wouldn't be surprised if she sadly took her own life.

Very sad to hear that the young actress Jessica Falkholt has now lost her life 6 days after life support was switched off.

Unbelievable that her whole family was wiped out. Hopefully its the catalyst for State Governments getting serious with the way they deal with repeat driving offenders.

So sad.

Only comfort from that is she doesn't have to wake up and find out what happened to her Mum, Dad and sister.

Former Port and State wingmen Bruce Light has reportedly passed away.

Hes a bit before my time, but Ive enjoyed reading accounts of him as a footballer by those who saw him.

RIP Bruce.

He was a star, one of my faves from a star-studded era. I heard this last night too.

Yes, rest in peace. One of the great wingmen of the era by all accounts. IIRC he was a relative of Mark Ruccuito?
