Margot Kidder has passed away. She was 69. She will always be Lois Lane to me. Brilliant in Black Christmas and Sisters as well mind you.

Anthony Bourdain in an apparent suicide. Fucking hell, a titan in the culinary world. He has fans on here. Utterly shocked by this. 

Yes, absolutely stunned by this news. His book Kitchen Confidential is essential reading for a would-be chef. His influence isn't strong over here; but in the US he's a household name with forthright (and bang-on) opinions on food and all-round cheffery. A great loss.

Yeah, very shocking. I first became aware of him due to the JRE podcast and, as Guy points out, looked like he was living his perfect life, which makes this even more crushing/puzzling. The run of high-profile suicide deaths right now is incredibly sad; people you expect and assume are doing great.

I was hugely shocked by this, finding out via Matty Matheson's instagram account. Incredibly sad as he also leaves a daughter behind.

Speaking of JRE, I imagine Rogan will be hit hard by this as they seemed pretty tight. However, I really hope this gives Rogan a wake-up call regarding depression where he normally has the glib response of "just get outside and workout or something" isn't helpful.

Absolute shocker this one, stunned me when I read it.  Big fan of the books and the shows.  Seemed like the kind of bloke you could have a bloody good chat with on many levels.  Sad, sad news.
