Munchkin Coroner Dies. Punk Swindler Succumbs to Cancer

Meinhardt Raabe, the Munckin Coroner that pronounced the Wicked Witch of the West dead with the following lines:

As coroner, I must aver
I thoroughly examined her
And she’s not only merely dead,
She’s really, most sincerely dead!
He died today of a heart attack. He was the last surviving cast member of the entire film with any significant dialogue.

Malcom McLaren, manager of the punk band Sex Pistols also died, after battling cancer. He left us yesterday, April 8th. McClaren appeared in The Great Rock and Roll Swindle and The Filth and the Fury, both films by Julien Temple, thus securing my ability to make a post about him on am movie website. McLaren, formed the pistols as a “product” that he would use to make a significant amount of money. Often times, the band would actually be paid to leave their current record label due to their drunken anti-establishment (mostly just drunken) acts. McClaren also formed Bow Wow Wow, managed the Clash for a bit, and produced television shows and artwork. This is merely a slice of what his body of work includes.
