What was he doing in Bermuda? Spending his money? Being HAPPY? Whatever. Dying at 92 is a good thing. Age can catch up with some people and it IS the absolute end result. He did well.

Burt Kwouk, best known for playing Inspector Clouseau's manservant Cato Fong in the Pink Panther films, has died aged 85.



A statement said: "Beloved actor Burt Kwouk has sadly passed peacefully away 24th May.

"The family will be having a private funeral but there will be a memorial at a later date."

Kwouk was born in Warrington, Cheshire, but lived in Shanghai until he was 17.

He started acting after attending college in the United States and became most famous for being Clouseau's manservant.

The running gag was that he was ordered to attack the inspector, played by Peter Sellers, when he least expected it to keep him alert.

He appeared in three James Bond films including playing Mr Ling, a Chinese expert in nuclear fission, in Goldfinger.

R.I.P Muhammad Ali (/ ɑː ˈ l iː /; born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.; January 17, 1942) - he was the greatest

Muhammad Ali, widely hailed as the greatest heavyweight boxer in the sport’s history, has died after being hospitalised in Arizona Thursday with a respiratory issue.

Ali, 74, had suffered from Parkinson’s disease since the 1980s.

“After a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening,” family spokesperson Bob Gunnell said in a statement.

Ali's prowess in the ring and his personality and social activism make him one of the most recognisable sports figures of the last century.

He secured an Olympic gold medal in the 1960 Summer Games and became one of the youngest heavyweight champions of all time, stunning the boxing world with a knockout of Sonny Liston to claim the title in 1964 at 22.

did the blows to his head cause or contribute to Parkinson's? here in the States one hears a lot about a condition called CTE because most every corpse examined who once played American professional football has it. it is even been found in youth players as well and parents are so alarmed that many are simply not letting their boys play American football anymore. Ali wasn't a football player but he took the blows so you have to wonder ...
