He was an American guitarist, best known as a founding member of the American thrash metal band Slayer. In early 2011, Hanneman contracted necrotizing fasciitis. While some reports linked this illness with a spider bite he claimed to have received while in a friend's hot tub, some experts have cast doubts on this theory given the relative rarity of these type of spider bites, the fact that he did not actually see the spider, and the number of other possible causes of the disease. In light of his illness and Slayer's upcoming participation in the Australian Soundwave Festival tour that was set to begin on February 26th, 2011, the band made the decision to play the dates without Hanneman, and on February 16th, 2011 brought on Gary Holt (guitarist of the band Exodus) to fill in for him. Pat O'Brien joined as Slayer's temporary second guitarist when Holt left the tour to play with Exodus. By 2012, bandmate Tom Araya had announced his recovery from the disease. However, later in February 2013, Kerry King revealed continuing health problems that kept him from working with Slayer. Hanneman died of liver failure in a local Los Angeles hospital near his home in Southern California's Inland Empire.

French's 1977 novel, The Women's Room, follows the lives of Mira and her friends in 1950s and 60s America, including Val, a militant radical feminist. The novel portrays the details of the lives of women at this time and also the feminist movement of this era in the United States. At one point in the book the character Val says "all men are rapists". This quote has often been incorrectly attributed to Marilyn French herself. French's first book was a thesis on James Joyce.
French survived esophageal cancer. This experience was the basis for her book A Season in Hell: A Memoir (1998).
She was also mentioned in the 1982 ABBA song, "The Day Before You Came." The lyrics that mentioned French were: "I must have read a while, the latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style".
French died from heart failure.

He was famous for his excessive drinking, which fitted in with the "social" attitude of many rugby teams in the 1960s and '70s, and there are numerous anecdotes such as Reed and 36 friends drinking, in an evening, 60 gallons of beer, 32 bottles of Scotch, 17 bottles of gin, four crates of wine and one bottle of Babycham.

Justinus Soni "Justin" Fashanu was an English footballer, who played for a variety of clubs between 1978 and 1997. His 1981 transfer to Nottingham Forest made him Britain's first £1m black footballer. In 1990 Fashanu encountered hostility after becoming the first prominent footballer to identify himself publicly as gay. In 1998 he was questioned by American police when a 17-year-old accused him of sexual assault. The police dropped the allegation because of lack of evidence, but Fashanu committed suicide in May of that year, protesting that he had "already been presumed guilty".
He hanged himself in a deserted lock-up garage he had broken into, in Shoreditch, London, after visiting Chariots Roman Spa (a gay sauna in the area). In his suicide note, he stated: "I realised that I had already been presumed guilty. I do not want to give any more embarrassment to my friends and family"..."I hope the Jesus I love welcomes me, I will at last find peace."
