He was 93, so not entirely unexpected. Between him and David Warner, it's been a miserable week for the English entertainment greats.

When I saw this I mmediately thought of the gif below and wasnt entirely sure if it was him well how fitting in the end.

At this point, I assume every older female British celebrity is having their life force drained for Queen Elizabeth II, and every older male British celebrity is having their life force drained for David Attenborough. That's the only explanation I can come up with as to how many of them are dropping like flies yet these two soldier on.

Ahhh no!

Someone go check on David Jason.

On the subject, I'm really surprised and shocked John Challis (Boycie) went before he did. 79 but he looked relatively nice for his age. Jason in comparison looks and sounds rough.

Reportedly, it was initially thought that this young man had a seizure, but it was now reported that he had a “cardiac event”. Either way, he was just 20 years old.

It was reported that he was studying for a degree in criminology with an interest in real estate, as he was gearing up to be a part of the Class of 2024.

Greatest basketball player that had some of the best throwback pictures, right up there with Wilt Chamberlain.

He’s relatively speaking the greatest example of “basketball royalty“.

Angela Lansbury is still alive, so all is right and good in Bongland.

Whoa, she actually made The Little Mermaid more memorable when it wasn’t about Ariel. I didn’t even know she lived to be 95.

Yeah she had a long career. Besides the obvious role, I'm sure most would know her as John Arbuckle's grandma in the Garfield specials.

Mary Alice, the actress best known for her roles in A Different World and Sparkle, has died. She was 85.
Alice died on Wednesday at her home in Manhattan, a spokesperson for the NYPD confirms to PEOPLE. A cause of death was not provided.
The actress's death was also confirmed by "one of her close friends," according to Philip Lewis of HuffPost, who announced the news on his Twitter Thursday.
"Mary Alice, known for her roles as 'Lettie' on A Different World and Effie Williams in Sparkle, has died, one of her close friends tells me," Lewis wrote.
"'We are all very sad at the loss,'" he shared from the source's statement.

Lewis also posted two photos of Alice — the first of her at the 45th Emmy Award Governor's Ball in 1993 with her award in hand, and the second of her in character.

A Different World wasn't a soap opera, it was a sitcom that was a spin-off of The Cosby Show with Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) going off to college.

Anyway, RIP to the Oracle from the Matrix sequels (well, the original sequels).

I might have confused with Another World, sorry for the confusion.

Rest in peace and thank you for playing one of the best Disney villains ever.

Fun fact Pat Carroll also voiced Ursula in Kingdom Hearts and also voiced Ursula's sister Morgana in the Little Mermaid 2.

It's never the ones you don't like that goes.
