Australian cricketer Dean Jones. 

Same age as me. 😞

One of the best overseas players to play for my county - not just in talent, but in influence.

I was reading something today about Whitney Houston, about how she died from drowning in a bathtub of a heart attack/cocaine OD, then I followed a link to her daughter Bobbi Brown, who also died in a bathtub from drowning! I Don't like those kind of coincidences.
