University and film colleagues mourn death of leading film and television academic Geoff Lealand, 75
July 5, 2022
Geoff Lealand was renowned for his vast knowledge of television, films, journalism and education – as well as his forthright views when it came to censorship and the intelligence of children and adolescents. Many in New Zealand's film and television industry and the academic world are mourning the death of Dr Geoff Lealand, one of the world’s foremost authorities on both the small and big screens.
Lealand, who died suddenly on Saturday morning aged 75, was for many years a familiar figure in the screen and media department at Waikato University, which he joined in 1992. He became renowned through his research, much of which was focussed on how children view and understand television.
“He thought children should not be patronised in terms of their understanding of the things they watch,” longtime colleague Ann Hardy said. “He was not in favour of censoring ideas and put forth the argument that children were intelligent enough to make their own choices about what they watched ... He was a world-class representative in that area.”
No cause of death reported.

Some outlet in Australia posted an article about the increase in sudden deaths. I'm surprised more aren't showing up in the Australian media, and maybe that's on purpose.
So sad when people die in front of their family. 😥
