Given that Lady Killearn was in her late nineties at the time, the fact that the possibility of hotel room hanky panky was entertained at all was a testament to her youthfulness.

Do you subscribe to some news feed of "Obituaries of People You Wish You Knew When They Were Alive"? You seem to post a lot of these of folks we've never heard of but are very interesting. Thanks for doing so. I enjoy reading them.

This isn't exactly an obit, but George Bell's story is still very interesting as a cautionary tale. It's a reminder 'that all lives have some meaning. And a reminder that if you live alone and haven't posted on the Bored for a while, it's nice if someone notices and cares enough to find out if you're dead.

I think they are generally (perhaps exclusively) from
http://www.telegraph.co.uk. Maybe he follows the obit twitter feed from there?
They definitely have interesting obituaries there. They make everyone interesting:
