RIP Pat John, actor. Canadians my age will know him as "Jesse Jim" on The Beachcombers (one of the first TV shows to be filmed in British Columbia), where he took the "token native" role and turned it into a fully-realized and non-cliched character. Natural causes.


RIP Ripudaman Singh Malik, businessman who was acquitted of taking part in the Air India Flight 182 bombing. Murdered.

First, I initially misread that as "Ivanka". Second, I could swear I saw this set up on a 1970s-vintage detective show.

"Aw, man" says it all.

Even the editor of that obit was distressed, judging by this sentence that got past him:

Quote:In 1999, Eric published his first novel in 1997 and moved to full-time writing after winning the 1993 Writers of the Future contest.
