A family is mourning the death of a 26-year-old mom who was tragically struck by a car when an alleged road rage incident turned deadly.

The suspect claims he felt threatened and thought people were “trying to kill” him. But surveillance footage shows Ryan Sweatt as the threat who intentionally struck the victim with his car, the impact so severe it tossed Destini Decoff into the air, ripping the clothes from her body.

“Today my biggest fear as a mother became my reality,” her mother writes in an emotional Facebook post, adding she hopes the accused “burns directly in hell.” Keep reading to learn more about this tragic incident.

On April 4, Destini Decoff – the mom to Zaedan, seven – was traveling in a vehicle with four men on a highway in Hopkinton, about an hour west of Boston, Massachusetts.

Ryan Sweatt, who was operating the other vehicle, told police he had left work and was driving home to Milford when the car – carrying Decoff and her friends – pulled in front of him, its driver slamming on the brakes.

According to a statement released by the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office, “[Sweatt] became engaged in an apparent road rage incident with another vehicle. At some point, some of the occupants of the other vehicle, including the victim, exited the car. Sweatt subsequently made a U-turn at a high rate of speed and struck the victim in the roadway.”

Her jacket was ’20 feet’ away

Brett Martin, a witness who saw the horrific incident as it played out, told police Sweatt targetted the 26-year-old woman.

“He turned around multiple times and he coulda just kept going. He could have kept going. He chose to turn around, chose to come back. He knew what he was doing when he went towards that girl.”

Describing the force of the strike, Martin continued, “I didn’t see her go up in the air. But I saw her come down, hit the pavement. It wasn’t good from there…I saw her mid-air kind of coming down towards the street, her jacket must’ve been 20 feet away from her. However she got hit, those clothes flew off.”

Sweatt, who tried to flee, was stopped by police.

“They’re trying to kill me,” Sweatt, 36, told police while pointing toward a group of people standing on the road around Decoff, who was lying in a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, the young mother was rushed to hospital suffering from a brain bleed, collapsed lungs, and fractures to her shoulder, tibia and ribs. She also had an emergency operation to remove her spleen and part of her skull to relieve pressure from the brain bleed.

‘A cry for help’

Sweatt’s Facebook page is filled with messages suggesting depression and self harm. His last post, March 2023, read, “Honestly, what is so wrong about me? Clearly something is wrong but I can’t see it. I can’t fix what I don’t know is broken.”

The year before, he re-shared a post he originally wrote in August 2014, “Suicide, a crime of loneliness.”

Following the death of Decoff, netizens are flocking to his Facebook page, leaving messages to the man accused of killing an innocent woman.

“A cry for help. Mental Health should not be ignored especially by the person experiencing it,” one Facebook user wrote on his page, after the death of Decoff.

Another shared, “You had a choice to just drive away.”

‘Hit my daughter head-on’

Unfortunately, Sweatt did not drive away.

Decoff’s mother, Tracy, shared on Facebook what she saw on the surveillance video.

“She was in the car with friends when the car behind them was riding their bumper. Car pulled over they got out of the vehicle & that car tried to run them over,” Tracy wrote from her daughter’s bedside in the hospital. “They made it the first time then the car turned around again & hit my daughter head-on, throwing her in the air. That car then took off with my baby laying there & the police got him.”

Tracy added, “I have been talking to her because I feel in my heart she can hear me. I’ve only tried holding her hand because she is hurt everywhere…”

But the young woman never regained consciousness and she was removed from life support on April 6.

Hospital staff printed Decoff’s last heartbeats along with her handprints and gave them to the grieving mom, who wrote, “I will treasure these forever.”

Sweatt was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, operating to endanger and a marked lanes violation.

He denied the charges when he appeared in court on April 5 and was remanded in custody pending a dangerousness hearing on Wednesday.

“Today my biggest fear as a mother became my reality. My first born child & best friend is no longer with me…go spread those beautiful wings & fly without pain & suffering,” Tracy, who next vows to get justice, shared. “With every ounce of my being I hope that mf burns directly in hell! I promise you with every ounce of my being I will get justice for you regardless of what it takes!”

Friends of the family organized a GoFundMe, “asking for help with the cost of her final arrangements.” The campaign, as of Tuesday, has raised almost $15,000 of its $20,000 goal.

The death of a spouse is one of the hardest things you can deal with in life, especially when they pass away relatively young.

John Travolta and his family have been through a couple of very tough years. In 2020, his wife and mother to the couple’s children, Kelly Preston, passed away from breast cancer.

Through the years, Travolta evolved into one of the greatest actors of the century. Along the way, he met the love of his life, and together they created a wonderful family.

In 1992, following a proposal at the Palace Hotel restaurant in Gstaad, Switzerland the year before, John Travolta married Kelly Preston.

The couple tied the knot on September 5, 1991, in a secret ceremony at the Hotel de Crillon in Paris.

Kelly was born on October 13, 1962 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and like John, she worked in the film industry. She studied acting at the University of Southern California, and in 1985, she started her acting career, appearing in several major movies such as Mischief, Twins, Jerry Maguire, and For Love of the Game.

Preston had some minor television roles during the course of her career as well. In 2018, she starred in the film Gotti, which would be her final film role. In July 2020, Kelly died after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

She was 57.

“On the morning of July 12, 2020, Kelly Preston, adored wife, and mother, passed away following a two-year battle with breast cancer,” a family representative told People at the time.

“She was a bright, beautiful, and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched. Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time.”

It turned out that Kelly had kept her diagnosis private. Speaking on the British talk show Loose Woman, her co-star in Off the Rails – which was her last film role – Sally Phillips, said that they didn’t know anything while filming.

“That’s what people do—they go through it on their own because of worries about insurance for the film, and working again afterward,” Phillips said, as reported by the Mirror.

“We’ve had a couple of high profile examples of that recently, haven’t we? Chadwick [Boseman] and Helen McCrory didn’t tell anyone,” she added.

“She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many,” Travolta wrote. “Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered.”

John Travolta wrote on Instagram: “My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered.”

In the same post, Travolta said he would be taking time to be with his family during the mourning process, particularly his children, 22-year-old  Ella and 11-year-old Ben. His first child with Kelly Preston, Jett, died of a seizure at 16.

Travolta and Preston were married for 19 years before her death and had three children together. Less than a year after her death, it’s very understandable that he would not be ready to move on so soon.

John Travolta new girlfriend

For his part, Travolta isn’t ready to start seeing anyone quite yet.

“John’s had no shortage of friends wanting to set him up and there are a lot of women who would love to go out with him,” an insider told OK! Magazine.

“John is flattered, but he just isn’t interested.

“No one wants to push him because they understand he’s torn between opening himself up to love again and staying single and being the best father he can be. Until John can figure things out, everyone is giving him the space he needs.”

While maintaining a low profile, Travolta opened up about his grieving process in an interview with Esquire Mexico.

“I have learned that mourning someone, mourning, is personal,” Travolta told the magazine. “Mourning is individual and only your own journey can heal you.”

“This is different from someone else’s journey. The most important thing you can do to help another when they are in mourning is to allow them to live it and not complicate it with yours. That’s my experience.”

Travolta is no stranger to grief. In 2009, he suffered an even more tragic death in the family: Jett, his oldest child with Preston, died of a seizure at the age of 16.

Jett was autistic and suffered from Kawasaki disease, and was prone to seizures. His son’s death devastated Travolta.

Life after Kelly

Today, three years after Kelly’s death, Travolta focuses on his family and being a father. After his wife’s passing, Travolta said he would be taking time from his career to focus on family, and he’s kept true to his word.

One of his most prominent on-screen role in the past year was a Super Bowl commercial, which also starred his daughter Ella. The ad gave Travolta a chance to bust out some of his famous dance moves, and have some fun with his family.

For Ella Bleu, losing her mother was heartwrenching, as it would be for everyone. However, she’s been following in her father’s footsteps in the acting business, and her father has been very supportive over the years.

When Ella, 22, landed a role in a reimagining of Alice in Wonderland named Get Lost, John Travolta bragged about his lovely daughter. Through Instagram, he shared a picture of her daughter dressed as Alice in Wonderland.

“I’m a very proud dad!,” he wrote in the caption.

The 68-year-old single dad also often posts pictures of his blonde-haired son Ben, 11. On Father’s day, the Saturday Night Fever star shared his feeling about being a dad.

’”It’s privilege to be a father. I love you my babies. Happy Father’s Day to everyone,” he wrote alongside photos of his children.

Travolta said that he’s looking to help his kids as much as he can.

“I will ensure the future of my children, help them with what they want to do with their lives,” Travolta said.

“The legacy is created by all the people who have loved and helped me over the years,” he told Esquire. “Life is movement and a journey; what you leave behind in people, I guess that’s your legacy.”

Airport mansion

Recently, John Travolta decided to sell his family vacation home in Maine, where he, the children, and Kelly spent a lot of time together.

Travolta bought the Maine estate in 1991, after his wedding to Kelly. The 10,000-square-foot property went on the market in 2021 for $5 million. It was built in 1903, and the remarkable home includes 20 bedrooms, a beach and open ocean access, and an in-ground pool.

But apparently,  the price tag proved to be too pricey but it’s clear that Travolta wants to let go of their vacation home. In 2022, it went on the market again.

Today, it looks like The Pulp Fiction star spends the majority of his time at his home in Florida. The most famous and spectacular estate owned by Travolta is located in Ocala, Florida. The 550-acre property, with six bedrooms, comes with some very special features – two aircraft runways that lead directly to his front door.

Travolta, a flight enthusiast and certified pilot with the license to fly a 737 airplane, was one of the first to purchase land in the exclusive gated community in 2001.

“We designed the house for the jets and to have at our access the world at a moment’s notice, and we succeeded at that. I was five years old when I fell in love with aviation. This is in my blood”, John Travolta told Australia’s Today.

This summer, he shared a glimpse of his family life as he went globe-trotting with Ella and Ben.

The question is, how long Travolta will keep his beloved aircraft estate, which also includes a banquet hall with seating for up to 400 guests. In 2019, it went on the market for $10.5 million.

Listing agent Bartow McDonald said:

“It’s what’s beyond the runway that makes Jumbolair so special. It is the ability to go anywhere in the world from your backyard.”

We’re so sorry for everything the Travolta family has been through lately, but we’re glad John is doing well and has found some peace in the mourning process.

Most moms will agree pregnancy and labor can be a scary time and all you want is to deliver a healthy baby, kicking and screaming.

But one mom was faced with the unthinkable when her baby boy was born with medical issues that left him on a ventilator.

Lisa Hough shared an image of her sweet baby grandson born to her daughter Chelsea and also shared the unthinkable tough decision that her daughter had been faced with.

The mom of three and nana of two said her grandson Karson had been born with many medical complications.

“The only way to describe what has happened is that this beautiful baby boy has suffered two very rare traumatic conditions that are completely unrelated to one another,” Nana Lisa shared on her Facebook page.

She added her newborn baby grandson had suffered a “hemorrhage in the left temporal lobe” and had also been diagnosed with a rare, genetic, metabolic disorder called Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).

“His case is presented as severe and would cause him to be severely neurologically impaired – functioning at a 2-3 month old level at best for his lifetime,” Lisa wrote.

His mom, given all the information from the medical staff around her, made the incredibly tough decision to take him off life support.

Lisa wrote of the heartbreaking moment they had to say goodbye to their sweet little one.

“While we weren’t ready to say goodbye to Karson, we had come to terms with the inevitable. We were given 10 minutes after withdrawing intensive care and the ventilator and told he would not breath on his own and to expect his heart to stop within those 10 minutes.”

Karson is officially off oxygen and is maintaining his saturation. He is now able to regulate and maintain his own body…

But, according to Lisa, it seemed “God had other plans” and said she and her daughter witnessed a miracle.

“He immediately started breathing on his own once the ventilator was removed, heart rate and oxygen stabilized, and here we are 5 hours later with this miracle baby that we were told would never breath, swallow, have gag reflexes, or even survive. He is breathing unassisted.

“He is swallowing. He is surviving. He even has slightly opened his eyes a couple times today.”

She said his doctors had no explanation for what happened saying no medical or science data supports this little fighter surviving; the only explanation they have is that it’s a miracle.

“I’m not sure why I ever thought we were so underserving of a miracle…and I’m not sure how long we have with him, but we have him now. And now we will take,” Lisa wrote.

Finally, on March 1, she and her family were given the joyous news that their tiny bundle of joy would be coming home that week.

“Every day, I am brought to my knees, and just when I think God is done, I am quickly reminded that he isn’t….I have no words for my gratitude and I will praise Him for as long as I have air in my lungs for giving Karson his,” Lisa wrote.

From her very first post, commenters were fully supportive of the journey, celebrating the survival of Karson with more than 30,000 reactions to the post announcing the wonderful news that Karson survived and is thriving.

An influencer fired up the online community when she shared a TikTok post saying that she’s just “too pretty” for the daily grind of work.

Calling her “shallow” and “entitled,” netizens were furious over the suggestion that employment is reserved for a population of un-pretty people.

Lucy Welcher, a social media influencer with almost 20 million likes, recently broadcast a clip that created a viral storm.

The young blonde, who admits she’s “the worst type of person…who cannot handle getting their own way,” is frequently seen in videos where she’s sitting in her car, sipping an iced coffee or boasting over a haul from one of her favorite stores.

On November 8, 2022, the now 20-year-old shared a TikTok post that she captioned, “Not my thing [laughing emoji] #working #scam.”

“I do not want to work for the rest of my life. Does it look like I want to get up at 6 a.m. every f**king day for the next 60 years? No! I’m too pretty for that!” she said in the nine-second clip.

Viewers were quick to offer their comments, many slamming the content creator for being “lazy” and “entitled.”

“Boy I wish I had your confidence, the same confidence to feel like I’m better looking than I actually am. God you people are so shallow and in love with yourselves,” writes one TikToker.

“Someone’s entitled,” another blasted. “I hope you get humbled girl, you need it. Looks have nothing to do with working and it’s sad you have that mentality.”

A third cybernaut sniped, “How about trying to be an adult instead of a privileged princess expecting life to be handed to you?”

‘Slandered’

Responding to user comments by deleting the controversial clip, Welcher – who says people failed to see it as “a joke” – shared a new post where she explains she’s being “slandered all over social media for that video I posted.”

Spiked with sarcasm, the TikTok star proceeds to review and correct some online stories, where she denies owning “class vehicles,” or earning $100,000USD each year. Welcher also reveals she’s Canadian, and says the claim that she lives in a mansion “is hilarious…because my house is literally falling apart.”

‘Remake’

Days later, on November 14, Welcher – who found the attention entertaining – shared a new clip, where she’s again seen sipping on her iced coffee.

Captioned, “Remake of the most hated video I’ve ever made,” Welcher repeats the script from her deleted “I’m too pretty” video.

This time, the majority of online users rallied behind her, understanding her earlier message was intended as humor

“You’re 100% correct, getting up early going to work will spoil your good looks,” shares one.

A second writes, “This video and the first one gave me life.”

Another, a champion for pretty people, pens, “You are too pretty for that. Those are just the hard cold facts of life.”

Movie legend and Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly’s granddaughter is all grown up and has inherited her famous grandmother’s beauty.

The Hollywood film star was never off the screen during the 1950s but despite only having a six-year career, it was prolific.

Grace Kelly was once one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood and entered the world of performing when she was 20, appearing in New York City theatrical productions.

After that, she embarked on a busy TV career during the Golden Age of Television. All the actresses of that era had so much poise, class and were just stunning – Grace Kelly was perhaps the most beautiful.

The Philadelphia-born star, who was the epitome of class and beauty, also appeared in many movies between 1952 and 1956, including adventure romance Mogambo alongside Clark Gable and Ava Gardner, which earned her a Golden Globe for best supporting actress.

The following year she appeared in The Country Girl with Bing Crosby and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Among the 11 movies she starred in over the course of just five years, the most notable were the comedy musical High Society starring alongside Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra and three Alfred Hitchcock movies Dial M for Murder;  Rear Window; and To Catch a Thief with Cary Grant.

But the successful actress retired from the big screen at just 26 years old to marry Prince Rainier III and become Princess of Monaco.

In just 6 years, this much-loved starlet had made 11 successful movies, won two Golden Globes and Academy Award, and married a prince.

Her marriage to such a high-profile member of royalty meant she couldn’t continue her acting career. Instead, she went on to have three children Caroline, Princess of Hanover, Albert II, Prince of Monaco and Princess Stéphanie and focused on her philanthropic work.

Sadly, Grace Kelly was killed in a car accident after suffering a stroke and losing control of her vehicle.

Her youngest daughter Stephanie, who was 17 at the time, was in the car with her and thankfully survived. Kelly was just 52 when she died.

Her three children went on to have 11 children who all seem to have inherited their grandmother’s style and elegance.

One of her youngest grandchildren, Camille Gottlieb, is the 24-year-old daughter of Grace Kelly’s youngest child Princess Stephanie of Monaco and Jean-Raymond Gottlieb.

The Monaco resident has two older half-siblings, her half-sister Pauline Ducruet also looks like her beautiful grandmother.

But Camille has inherited her grandmother’s blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, and there is no doubt who she is related to when she wears red lipstick.

She’s not eligible for the Monegasque throne as her parents weren’t married when she was born, in fact, her father’s identity was kept secret for a while, according to Town & Country magazine.

Her Instagram account, followed by almost 95,000 people, is full of images of Camille looking like her iconic grandmother.

Alain Delon is arguably one of Europe’s most instantly recognizable faces.

The legendary French actor, now 87 years oldis also a producer and director, boasting an enviable career spanning over half a century

Yet to ask him, his proudest achievement might be his three children. Hard is might be to believe, one of his sons is now all grown up, and has inherited his famous dad’s gorgeous looks …

Alain Delon is undoubtedly one of the most adored and sought-after faces of the history of cinema.

Thanks to his signature piercing blue eyes and natural French charm, Delon made an entire generation dream.

Indeed, he continues to do so today, successfully captivating new generations and reminding the world just why he’s been able to remain relevant and much-loved over so many years.

Alain Delon – Early days

The superstar was born on November 8, 1935 in the French town of Sceaux, in the Hauts-de-Seine, the area covering Paris inner suburbs.

After his parents’ divorce, his mom sent Alain to live with a foster family. Later, he would spend his adolescent years attending different boarding schools and institutions.

He then finally decided to enlist in the French Navy and was subsequently sent to serve in Indochina.

Upon returning to France, he worked in a variety of different jobs including as a bellboy, clerk, and waiter, before choosing to move to Rome.

Among his first successful movie was 1958’s Be Beautiful But Shut Up with legendary French actor Jean Paul Belmondo.

That same year he played in Christine, where he met Austrian sensation actress Romy Schneider, with whom he would have a relationship that was loved by the public. Purple Noon, a 1960 adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr Ripley, was lauded by critics and credited as Alain’s first major role.

Alain Delon – European success

Delon began to achieve global stardom in the early 1960s after a fateful encounter with Italian neorealistic director Luchino Visconti, who chose Alain as the main character in 1960’s Rocco and his Brothers. The film became an instant hit worldwide.

Not only that, but Delon’s celebrated work with Visconti paved the way for a series of collaborations with renowned Italian directors.

In 1962, he played alongside Italian actress Monica Vitti in The Eclipse, under the direction of acclaimed Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni. For his role, he won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes festival, and was nominated for the Palme d’Or.

Further international success arrived thanks to his part in the 1963 epic drama The Leopard, once again directed by Visconti. In The Leopard he plays Prince Tancredi Falconeri, the nephew of an aging Sicilian nobleman (played by Burt Lancaster) caught up in the mid-19th century sociopolitical turmoil of the Italian unification.

In the main, the 1960s were marked by Delon’s attempt to make it big in the US; the desirable market for any European actor of that time.

Alain Delon – US

Often typecast as the stereotypical Latin Lover because of his French accent and European looks, Delon landed some small parts in movies The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1965), which also starred Shirley MacLaine.

After signing with Columbia, Alain appeared in the action film Lost Command (1966), playing a member of the French Foreign Legion alongside Anthony Quinn and Claudia Cardinale. He then starred in a Western, Texas Across the River, opposite Dean Martin. Unfortunately, his work in Hollywood did not bring the French sensation the American stardom he was hoping for.

As a result, he decided to return to France, where he featured in another big hit as hitman Frank Costello in Le Samouraï (1967). Delon’s performance was a game-changer, going on to define the standard for playing fascinating tough characters.

Later in the 1970s, Delon continued taking roles in the noir/detective genre, appearing in, among others, The Sicilian ClanBorsalino and Le Cercle Rouge. Interestingly enough, it was 1975’s Zorro that allowed European cinema to be known in Communist China (this was one of the first Western movies shown in the country after the Cultural Revolution), Japan and Latin America.

Alain Delon – Relationships

Needless to say, like many celebrities who have been in the spotlight for generations, Alain Delon’s love life has often been at the center of attention.

After the end of his brief, yet intense five-year relationship with Romy Schneider, Delon decided to marry actress Nathalie Delon in 1964, welcoming a son, Anthony, that same year. The two stayed married until 1969.

Anthony has followed in his dad’s steps and is himself an actor these days.

Later, Delon had relationships with actresses Mireille Darc and Anne Parillaud. In the 1980s, he began a two-decade long relationship with Dutch model Rosalie van Breemen.

From this relationship he had two more children: a daughter, Anouchka Delon (born in 1990), and another son, Alain-Fabien Delon (born in 1994).

All of his children seem to have inherited their dad’s elegant yet effortless beauty.

This is particularly evident with regards to his youngest son, Alain-Fabien, now 28, who is identical to his legendary father

Alain-Fabien – dad Alain’s copy

Alain-Fabien, as well as having the same name as his dad, also shares the same profession.

He’s an actor too, and has been in movies including Savage Days (2021), Fabio Montale (2001) and Ultra Pure.

One look at Alain-Fabien and it’s clear that he has gotten his dad’s compelling, intense blue eyes.

He even shows the same facial expressions that made his father an icon.

We just can’t help but see the striking resemblance he bears to his dad!

Children do not always understand the repercussions of following trends they discover online, not knowing that sometimes they can actually be deadly.

This family is undergoing the most heartbreaking tragedy because of something that happened to their little boy. Now they are warning others. Keep reading to know more…

An 11-year-old boy is being mourned by his family after passing away in connection with a terribly dangerous trend on social media. Now, the family wants to warn others and urge parents to talk to their children so that no one else falls victim to the same thing.

A worrying trend among young people on TikTok led to the death of 11-year-old Tommie-Lee Billington from Lancaster, England.

This comes after two teenage girls also lost their lives when participating in the same “challenge” on the app, reports The Sun.

It all started when 11-year-old Tommie was at a friend’s house for a sleepover on Saturday. The boys then “huffed” after seeing a challenge on the TikTok app.

This involves inhaling dangerous gases or solvents that cause a high. Examples include dry shampoo, spray deodorant, and glue.

After Tommie and his friend decided to participate in the trend on TikTok, the boy’s heart stopped immediately. According to medical staff, he died instantly. Now, the family is mourning the tragic passing of the 11-year-old.

His mother, Sherry, has urged other parents to talk to their children and stop their children from using TikTok. She took her plea to Facebook, writing, “This cost my son his life from trying something other kids are doing. Please talk to your children about the consequences of this. It is beyond me why anyone would even try this! It’s so dangerous!”

“I have never felt pain like this. My whirlwind. I just love you so much mate. My baby boy. You will forever be in my heart. I will make sure to the best of my ability that your name and your beautiful face will become the reason that other children’s lives will be saved and other families don’t have to suffer this deep, deep hurt,” she writes on her Facebook page.

The newspaper cites royal expert and former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown as having put forward the idea that the Prince and Princess of Wales are perhaps not as enthused by the notion of ascending the throne just now as some people might believe.

Following King Charles’ shock cancer diagnosis back in January, William has been forced to step into his father’s role. Kate, meanwhile, will take on a more active hand in things once she is well enough to do so.

And while one might rightly assume that William has been groomed for the position of King ever since he was born, it would appear that the prospect is giving him cause for concern.

As per The Independent, Tina Brown said: “News of Charles’s cancer has put William and Catherine in frightening proximity to ascending the throne … The prospect of it, I am told, is causing them intense anxiety.”

Charles himself only took over from the late Queen Elizabeth in 2022 (having waited longer than any other heir apparent in British history), but released a statement in late January 2024 confirming that he had been diagnosed with cancer following a routine operation on an enlarged prostate.

Since then the King has been traveling back and forth between London and the royal estate of Sandringham, alternating between cancer treatment (which he receives in the capital) and time for rest and recovery.

Yet word of his sickness – and all that it might mean – was largely overshadowed by the mysterious circumstances regarding Kate Middleton after her “planned abdominal procedure”, which also took place in January.

Following almost three months of conjecture and intense speculation, the Princess of Wales too admitted that she had been diagnosed with cancer, much to the shock of royal fans around the world.

In the wake of the respective health issues experienced by Charles and Kate, the likes of Queen Camilla and Prince William have been forced to take on more responsibility with regards to their roles within the royal setup.

Reports have implied that the situation is taking a toll on Prince William, who is obviously of a mind to prioritize caring for his wife. Yet depending on how things go for King Charles, the Prince of Wales may be thrust into an even more central role sooner rather than later.

As for Kate, she’s expected to return to engagements when she’s feeling up to it. Kensington Palace initially proposed a timeline that said the Princess would be back in action after Easter, but that was long before it was announced that she was suffering from cancer.

Cole Brings Plenty, a beloved actor known for his roles in the classic Westerns “Into the Wild Frontier,” and “The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger” has died. His untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the entertainment community and among fans worldwide.

The news of his passing was released to the public through a statement by the Kansas Sheriff’s Office. The press release, dated April 5, 2024, stated that the deputies were dispatched to the area of 200th and Homestead Lane about an unoccupied vehicle. It said in part:

The male was then identified as Cole, 27. At the time of the press release, crime scene investigators and the medical examiner were on the scene.

Amidst the sorrow of this discovery, Cole’s dad, and his family shared their own heartfelt message, expressing their profound loss and gratitude towards the community’s support. The statement posted on Cole’s uncle, Mo Brings Plenty’s Instagram, began, “I am deeply saddened to confirm that my son, Cole, has been found and is no longer with us.”

The post went on to thank everyone for their prayers and positive thoughts sent to Cole. They then appreciated all those who participated and provided resources for the search for Cole.

In the days leading up to his tragic disappearance, an incident raised concerns and initiated a search that would end in heartbreak. On April 2, the Lawrence Kansas Police Department(LKPD) issued a statement regarding an incident involving Cole.

According to the LKPD, an affidavit was submitted to the District Attorney seeking Cole’s arrest following an incident reportedly related to domestic violence at a Lawrence apartment early Sunday morning.

Despite calls of a female screaming for help, Cole reportedly fled the scene before law enforcement officers arrived. Identified as the suspect, and based on probable cause, an alert for his arrest was issued. Surveillance footage captured him leaving the city shortly after the incident, heading south on Highway 59.

This post restricted the disclosure of further information to protect the victim’s privacy. Still, in the wake of these events, Cole’s family reached out to the police, shared their concerns, and reported him as missing. The poster revealed that Cole had missed an appointment with an agent for a TV show, which was “uncharacteristic for him.”

It went on to describe him as a 5’10” male with long black hair and brown eyes and weighing between 145 and 150 pounds. He was a student at Haskell Indian Nations University and was taking acting classes and working with his acting coach whenever time allowed.

“He is responsible and diligent in all his undertakings: he is never late, always well-prepared, does not reschedule, and has never been a no-show. That is the kind of character Cole has,” said part of the description of Cole in the missing person’s poster.

The poster went on to describe Cole as someone who would always answer his calls and messages. It thus became a cause for concern for the family when they kept trying to establish contact with him and discovered that his phone was off.

They were concerned for his safety and well-being. “Cole’s sudden disappearance without telling anyone his whereabouts is anomalous, causing a wave of concern spreading rapidly across the nation and parts of Canada,” the statement read in part.

But even as the event of his disappearance unfolded, the family cautioned the public against making assumptions about the situation without verified information. They stated that they did not know for a fact that Cole was involved in the incident he was alleged to have been a part of.

There was also no way of telling if he was the one behind the wheel of his 2005 Ford Explorer when it was seen leaving Lawrence. Still, they claimed to know for a fact that Cole could not go “on the run” in any situation as it was not in his character. They urged everyone to “prioritize facts, respect due process, and uphold the principles of fairness and justice for all involved.”

Now, in the wake of the devastating news, his family asks for privacy to mourn and honor his memory in peace. And as we reflect on the legacy the “1923” star leaves behind, his remarkable contributions to the world of classic Westerns continue to showcase his exceptional talent and the indelible mark on the hearts of fans and colleagues alike.
