Who else died (or almost died) this week?
Zelda Kaplan
The Fashion Week crowd was stunned Wednesday when 95-year-old nightlife legend Zelda Kaplan died during a runway show.
Kaplan was seated near gossip queen Cindy Adams and supermodel Carol Alt in the front row of designer Joanna Mastroianni’s show when she appeared to faint, falling forward in her seat and “it looked like her eyelids started to flutter,” one witness said.
Security rushed to her side, picked her up, carried her over the runway and out of the sweltering tent as models continued to sashay down the catwalk.
Hamburger Heart Attack Guy (He didn't actually die)
Fox 5 Vegas reports that a man had a heart attack while eating a hamburger at a restaurant named, wait for it...Heart Attack Grill.
The burger joint's slogan is "Taste Worth Dying For" and this guy (who remains unarmed) almost became living, or dying, proof.
He was in the middle of eating one of their trademarked Triple Bypass Burgers when he started sweating and shaking. That's when one of the waitresses (who dress like nurses) went and told the owner someone was having a problem.
Ebenezer the Donkey
Don’t look for Ebenezer, the old donkey by the road. He died shortly before midnight Sunday.
He was surrounded by friends who gathered in the warmth of his cozy shed when a vet gave him a shot that stopped a heart that for years had reached out to everyone who drove past his little pasture on Grandview’s west edge.
“He looked up at us like he knew we had done everything we could,” said a tearful Shirley Phillips, his primary caregiver. “He was at peace. He didn’t want to get up anymore.
“Then he sighed a couple of times, and he was gone.”
Petty Officer 3rd Class Kyler L. Estrada
Petty Officer 3rd Class Kyler L. Estrada, 21, of Maricopa, Ariz., died Feb. 14 as a result of a non-combat related training incident in Djibouti. Estrada, a Navy hospital corpsman, was assigned to the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit based at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
