ScreenHub is saddened to hear about the passing of Mark Poole, Melbourne-based writer, director and academic, and much-valued ScreenHub contributing author.

He was also one of ScreenHub‘s longest-serving contributors, writing more than 300 articles over 15 years that documented the people, ideas and issues shaping Australian screen culture.
reported two days ago?
Not having a go at you, but I find these “cause of death” reports to be ghoulish click bait by news outlets.
I agree but it can be avoided if they mentioned the cause in the first announcement because in every case people would be curious.

Super Radio Network Radio Announcer Graeme Gilbert has passed away. He was 76. He was a great Broadcaster but was famously for the India Radio quiz Prank(I think he handled it very well)
Yeah to be honest i found that so called running gag to be about as funny as a funeral
Oh, well. You need a sense of humour to enjoy it.
No it was funny at first but just got stale.
Channel 7 aired a full-screen tribute message at the end of JP3 tonight, before the split-screen end credits/promo rolled:
“In loving memory of Sam Neill, 1947 - 2026”.
Nice touch
