He was the seventh child. He died from an injection of a painkiller that he has been addicted to for twenty years now.

Another major news story was the death of Farrah Fawcett. She was born on February 2, 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Farrah was an American actress. She married Lee Majors in 1973 but they split up in 1982. In 2006, she found out she had cancer. They treated it and four months later she discovered that she was cancer free. Less then four months after this discovery she visited her doctor and was told that the cancer was back. Farrah then went to Germany for treatments.
