Deaths of Minor Celebrities

Yuri Gagarin aged 99.

I'm sorry moonchild, I don't understand your post.

Yuri Gagarin (cosmonaut) died in 1968...is it another Yuri Gagarin?

I Googled. He was a Russian space pioneer.

 

[Sephrenia]

Yes, he was. First man in space - but he died aged 34 in 1968.

(I googled too - because when I first saw moonchild's post I couldn't believe that the Yuri Gagarin that I "knew" had died at the age of 99 - he couldn't have been that old imo and he wasn't! IF he was still alive he would be 77).

I'm just confused about moonchild's post.

Sorry guys - when I read it in Perth Now breaking news the "short" version said that Yuri Gagarin had died aged 99. I was surprised as I also thought he'd died ages ago. I just went searching for the story again but now it is a more complex story explaining that one of the engineers who worked on the original space program had died! Stupid Perth Now always screw up!
