Cadinot
Jean-Daniel. 2008-04-23

64

Born 1944-02-10. Domain:Directing. Cause of death:Heart attack

Cadinot's early films are often basically regular movies with occasional hardcore gay sex scenes interspersed. Rather than just portraying a string of sexual encounters with minimal dialogue, they showcase Cadinot's fascination with characterization, lighting, and his often slightly jocular approach to gay sexuality.

Fraenkel
Boris. 2006-04-23

85

Born 1921-00-00. Domain:Politics. Cause of death:Suicide

He was a Communist politician active in French and international politics. Fraenkel was born to Jewish parents in 1921 in Danzig (then an independent territory, thus allowing him a stateless status) now in northern Poland. He began by fighting for extreme-left Zionism under Hashomer Hatzair, where Marxist ideology mixed with Jewish nationalism. Arriving in France in 1938, to study agriculture at Nancy, he moved to study chemistry and in 1940 joined his mother at Grenoble, where he just missed being raided by the Gestapo. He then fled to Switzerland and was interned in the Gierenbad camp in Zürich, where he met the novelist and philosopher Manes Sperber, the future Racine specialist, Lucien Goldmann, and Aby Wieviorka, a major translator from Yiddish in Paris. During the 1960s and 70s Fraenkel crossed the path of many persons who became public personalities - politicians like Alain Krivine and Lionel Jospin, university lecturers like Jean-Marie Brohm and Georges Vigarello, as well as many journalists. In 2002 he decided to join the Ligue communiste révolutionnaire "to break his isolation", but was disappointed by it and did not long remain a member. Boris Fraenkel committed suicide by jumping into the Seine from Pont du Garigliano (the highest bridge in Paris, near parc André Citroęn). His body was found two days later at the level of the 8e arrondissement de Paris.

Ray
James Earl. 1998-04-23

70

Born 1928-03-10. Domain:Society. Cause of death:Hepathitis B

In 1997 Martin Luther King's son Dexter King met with Ray, and publicly supported Ray's efforts to obtain a retrial. Loyd Jowers, a restaurant owner in Memphis, was brought to civil court and sued as being part of a conspiracy to murder Martin Luther King; Jowers was found liable, and the King family was awarded $100 in restitution to show that they were not pursuing the case for financial gain. Dr. William Pepper, a friend of King in the last year of his life, represented James Earl Ray in a televised mock trial in an attempt to get Ray the trial that he never had. Pepper then represented the King family in a wrongful death civil trial against Loyd Jowers. The King family does not believe Ray had anything to do with the murder of Martin Luther King.
Ray died in prison at the age of 70 from complications related to kidney disease, caused by hepatitis C probably contracted as a result of a blood transfusion given after a stabbing while at Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary. It was also confirmed in the autopsy that he died of liver failure.
