Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

FBI-informant William O'Neal had slipped the powerful barbiturate sleep agent Secobarbitol into a drink that Hampton consumed during the dinner in order to sedate Hampton so he would not awaken during the subsequent raid. Hampton fell asleep in mid-sentence talking to his mother on the telephone. Hampton was lying on a mattress in the bedroom with his pregnant fiancée who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with their child. Two officers found him wounded in the shoulder and fellow Black Panther Harold Bell reported that he heard the following exchange: "That's Fred Hampton. Is he dead?... Bring him out. He's barely alive. He'll make it." Two shots were heard, which it was later discovered were fired point blank in Hampton's head. According to Deborah Johnson one officer then said: "He's good and dead now."

BirthFactDeath (-) Sunday 5th of March 2000 24 years ago She Was Mechanically Suffocated
Dancer, pornographic actress, actress and singer Lolo Ferrari born as Eve Valois is presumably suffocated by her 59-year-old husband Eric Vigne at the age of 37 in Sainte-Anne, Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes, France. The original autopsy determined that Ferrari had died of an overdose of antidepressants and tranquilizers. A second autopsy two years later found that mechanically-induced suffocation could not be ruled out. Vigne was suspected of causing her death, was arrested and spent 13 months in prison.
