Members Matt Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 Actually, William Cowsill died last year, but his death wasn't officially discovered or learned about until this year. He was one of the casualties of Hurricaine Katrina in Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted April 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 That's sad that it took them soo long to find his body. I'm not sure who compiled the list, but it's looks pretty accurate and it's a shame to see how many celebritites and leaders we have lost this year. Scary to think of what the rest of 2006 holds.
