A hunter found dead in the woods of Larnagol
January 6, 2023
The lifeless body of a hunter was found in the woods of Larnagol, this Saturday around 15:30. When the Cajarc firefighters arrived, they found themselves facing an inert body. The rescuers tried everything to bring this man back to life. Their efforts were in vain. In cardiac arrest on their arrival, this 65-year-old hunter seemed to have been the victim of a malaise. This is the first hypothesis formulated after the examination of his body.

No foul play in man (69) who was found lifeless next to car in driveway
January 4, 2024
All help came too late for the man. He died in his driveway. The investigation into the possible suspicious death of a 69-year-old man who was found dead next to his car in his driveway in Beveren aan de IJzer, near Alveringem, on Tuesday morning has been completed. Another autopsy was performed on the body on Wednesday. “But nothing suspicious was found or no intervention by third parties,” reports the West Flemish public prosecutor's office. The 69-year-old man was found on Tuesday morning at 6:30 am, next to his Peugeot at the end of his driveway of his farm in Grensstraat, in Beveren aan de IJzer in Alveringem. The case was therefore closed. The man probably died either of natural causes or after a fall. The body was released so the family can say their goodbyes.

Franz Beckenbauer is dead
January 9, 2024
It is with deep sadness that we announce that my husband and our father, Franz Beckenbauer, fell asleep peacefully yesterday, surrounded by his family," the family said in a statement.

As a player he became world and European champion (1972 and 1974), as a coach he led Germany to the title at the 1990 World Cup in Italy - and at club level he celebrated great success with FC Bayern. In recent years, Beckenbauer has repeatedly had to deal with health problems. Eye infarction, heart surgeries, Parkinson's disease with associated dementia - that's one of the reasons why "der Kaiser" had largely withdrawn from the public eye.

I sent this one on Jan 6, about a 25 yo Danish boxer, Daniel Nkole, who died suddenly on 26 December. I don't know why the ones I send never make it to the article, so now I will stop trying.
"We have been very affected by it - also in the boxing club. Daniel was a very nice and young man who could take care of others. He died way, way too early," says Arne Lund Christensen.
"He died very suddenly. I am in shock that he is gone. It takes some time to process and I am confronted with it all the time when I see a boxing ring. Then I get those images in my head.'
Daniel Nkole was hospitalized several times with corona, but the cause of death is unknown.
"We have no idea why this happened. It's so tragic. Both for the boys from the boxing club he should have celebrated New Year's with, who don't understand anything, but also for his girlfriend and family, who are in a shock-like state right now,' says Arne Lund Christensen.
