Re: Michael Winner
Saw this earlier: BBC News - Michael Winner: Death Wish director dies aged 77
Eek!The director had experienced a run of ill-health since eating a bad oyster on holiday in Barbados in 2007. It gave him the rare bacterial infection Vibrio vulnificus, which kills about 50 per cent of its victims within 48 hours.
He was on the brink of death five times and underwent a gruelling 19 operations, including the removal of three tendons, leaving him with mobility difficulties.
Later, he picked up the E coli infection from a steak tartare, and was hospitalised eight times in the last few months of his life.I'm an official AAD Moderator and also a volunteer, here to help make the forum run smoothly.
