how did jeremy beedle....

[monkeywiener]

die? i never heard the full story?

[Ethel]

In recent years, Beadle was plagued by ill health. In 2004, he lost a kidney to cancer and, a year later, he was diagnosed with a mild form of leukaemia.

His death comes after a battle with pneumonia.

oh ok thanks ethel. was it anything to do with his small hand? like hereditory diseases or anything?

[monkeywiener]

i only ask because 4GS has 2 small hands and i just hope he will be ok

[Ethel]

Well, his hand was due to Poland Syndrome which does affect the chest, so maybe the pneumonia was aggravated by that

[doomey!]

ITV credits his death as pneumonia, thats all it said really.

[monkeywiener]

oh i see. ok maybe 4gs will be ok because i dont think he is from poland :)

happy days

[mrs.chappie]

I wonder if Poland Syndrome is very rare - I don't know of anyone else who has this.

[monkeyeyes]

See.............now you are starting to be a berk, again...........

[WhiteBear]

i have a big arm and a small normal arm, ... maybe i will die soon too.

[monkeywiener]

only if you want too wb......................................

[Ethel]

Very rare, mrschappie

[mrs.chappie]

Ethel, do you know of anyone (apart from JB) who has this?

[monkeywiener]

i do! 4GS and that is times two!

[Ethel]

No - it wasn't recognised before the 1960s. It existed before then, but was too rare to be recognised as a syndrome and named.

[doomey!]

Kerry Katona has Iceland Syndrome
