  6. His daughter and her husband are Instagram celebrities. She didn't like that the Actors Guild announced his death. She made a post asking them to take it down. She wants to be the one to do it.

  11. May his soul rest in perfect peace, amen.

    Is his name pronounced as the words, 'die' & 'wait'? I'm genuinely surprised as I never knew such a name existed.
    Or could it be a traditional name that was translated to English?
