Overview

  • The coroner ruled The Vivienne’s January death a misadventure after a ketamine-induced cardiorespiratory arrest.
  • Rob and Michele Reiner’s deaths were preliminarily classified as homicides from multiple sharp force injuries, and their son Nick Reiner faces two first-degree murder charges as the case continues in Los Angeles.
  • Ricky Hatton was found dead in September with a provisional coroner finding of hanging, and police said the death was not being treated as suspicious.
  • An inquest found Dame Jilly Cooper died from a fatal head injury after a fall at her Gloucestershire home.
  • Other confirmed losses included Ozzy Osbourne in July at 76, reportedly from a heart attack, Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and his brother in a July car crash in Zamora, and TV presenter Kim Woodburn after a short illness announced by her representative.
