Ken Burrough, 73
Two time Pro Bowl WR for the Houston Oilers
Was the last player in the NFL to wear the number "00."
I believe that LeCharles Bentley, in his VERY brief stint with the Browns, petitioned the league to wear this number.
Also, Gary Brooker, frontman for the group Procol Harum, 76

Haven't seen cause of death but it sounds like he fought a painkiller addiction.

Saw that, plus I read somewhere he was up to 400 lbs. Not a good combo.

Not there yet but things aren't looking good for Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon from WWE/WCW Wrestling, 63. On life support.
EDIT: Kevin Nash (Diesel/Big Sexy) posted this morning that Hall will be taken off life support soon.

Sadly, that apparently did happen. Been a while since I got into that stuff, but he was huge when I was and, man, if I knew the formula to channel being that effortlessly cool like he did for many years...man, charisma off the charts simply due to going from "random mid-card guy" to hitting the WWF/E and becoming a Scarface cosplayer and then evolving that.

This one is so good.

I’m pretty sure he got rolled up in one of their mass layoffs over the years, but I think they ended up bringing him back in a different/cheaper capacity after that too
That Clayton commercial was a classic. Top 3 in ESPN history, imo.

Damn. Her grandson was in my fraternity back in the day. I've actually said hi to her on the telephone.
