Fletcher
Andrew John Leonard. 2022-05-26

60

Born 1961-07-08. Domain:Music. Cause of death:Unknown

Andrew John Leonard Fletcher, also known as Fletch, was an English keyboard player, DJ, and founding member of the electronic band Depeche Mode. In 2020, he and the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fletcher was married to Gráinne Fletcher (née Mullan) for almost 30 years. The couple had two children. While Depeche Mode were touring with the band Blancmange in the early 1980s, Fletcher was renowned for his skill at chess. Neil Arthur of Blancmange has mentioned in interviews "never winning a game of chess with Andy Fletcher!" During the 1990s, Fletcher owned a restaurant called Gascogne located on Blenheim Terrace in St. John's Wood, London. He made a series of bad investments in the mid-1990s that led to a number of financial settlements involving Lloyd's of London and Daniel Miller. Writing about the 1993 Devotional Tour, Glyn Brown of The Independent said: "... an epic 180-show affair, became the definition of hell. Depeche Mode – down to Gore, Gahan and Andrew Fletcher – were barely on speaking terms, using separate limos and dressing rooms. The smack-blasted vocalist required cortisone shots just to perform, borderline alcoholic Gore suffered two stress-induced seizures, and Andrew Fletcher's deepening depression resulted, in the summer of 1994, in a full nervous breakdown."

Eugene
Rudy. 2012-05-26

32

Born 1980-00-00. Domain:Society. Cause of death:Murder

He was an American man who gained worldwide attention when he was fatally shot as he cannibalized the face of a homeless man, Ronald Poppo, while nude on a causeway in Miami, Florida. As a result of the incident's graphic nature and the subsequent media attention, Eugene came to be known as the "Miami Zombie". Eugene was arrested eight times when he was 16, with the first arrest being for an assault. Eugene encountered a homeless man, Ronald Poppo (born May 17, 1947), lying underneath an elevated Metromover railway and started to consume his face. The attack unfolded at the west end of the MacArthur Causeway, near The Miami Herald headquarters in the Omni neighborhood of Downtown Miami. It is believed that both Eugene and Poppo, who were naked at the time of the attack, were unknown to each other. A passing cyclist, Larry Vega, came across the incident and alerted authorities. A few minutes later, Miami Police Department officer Jose Rivera arrived and, after doing a double take at the spectacle, warned Eugene to desist from attacking Poppo. Eugene ignored Rivera's warnings and, instead, reportedly growled at the officer. The attack ended at 2:13 PM with Rivera shooting Eugene once, and then an additional four times. The ordeal had been captured by a security camera on The Miami Herald building. The surveillance video shows that the attack went on for 18 minutes before help arrived.

Heidegger
martin. 1976-05-26

87

Born 1889-09-26. Domain:Philosophy. Cause of death:Age

On September 23, 1966, Heidegger gave an interview to Der Spiegel magazine, in which he agreed to discuss his political past provided that the interview be published posthumously (it was published on May 31, 1976). In the interview, Heidegger defended his entanglement with National Socialism in two ways: first, he argued that there was no alternative, saying that he was trying to save the university (and science in general) from being politicized and thus had to compromise with the Nazi administration. Second, he admitted that he saw an "awakening" ("Aufbruch") which might help to find a "new national and social approach" but stated that he changed his mind about this in 1934, largely prompted by the violence of the Night of the Long Knives.
The Löwith account from 1936 has been cited to contradict the account given in the Spiegel interview in two ways: that there was no decisive break with National Socialism in 1934 and that Heidegger was willing to entertain more profound relations between his philosophy and political involvement. The Der Spiegel interviewers did not bring up Heidegger's 1949 quotation comparing the industrialization of agriculture to the extermination camps. In fact, the Der Spiegel interviewers were not in possession of much of the evidence now known for Heidegger's Nazi sympathies.
