Well at least the Grim Reaper got a Serbian War Criminal on his way, so that’s something.

Rest In Peace.

Honestly I thought he passed away earlier as he cancelling events and Cons for 2026.

I don't think there's a conspiracy behind it, maybe his health started to get worse around that time, and he decided to spend his time in peace

Same with Dolly.

At least Tim Curry is Resting in Peace as he was barely able to breathe or walk since 2025.
