The Winnipeg School Division announced on Thursday that Darius, popularly known as Dee, the high school football player from Winnipeg who suffered a serious spinal injury during a game two weeks ago, had died in a hospital on Wednesday night, October 29, 2025.

Jack DeJohnette, Drummer, Pianist, and Composer Has Died

At the age of 83, the renowned drummer, pianist, and composer Jack DeJohnette passed away. His death was first reported incoherently and without confirmation; rumors were spread and specifics were unclear. On Monday, October 27, 2025, it was confirmed that Jack really died.

 

In the company of his wife, family, and close friends, Jack passed away quietly at Kingston Hospital in New York.

It is impossible to overestimate Jack's impact on jazz and beyond. He added color, depth, and intelligence to his work from his earliest years in Chicago to his crucial collaborations with Miles Davis on records like Bitches Brew to his own innovative groupings and recordings.

Miles Davis, Charles Lloyd, Bill Evans, Sun Ra, Pat Metheny, Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell, John Coltrane, and Freddie Hubbard are just a few of the performers DeJohnette has collaborated with over the course of his career.

 

Since releasing The DeJohnette Complex in 1968, he made about 50 albums as a bandleader or co-leader, frequently taking the keyboard seat again. Some of his most well-known work was created during his lengthy collaboration with ECM Records, which started in 1973.

He has won numerous Grammy Awards over the years, solidifying his reputation as a trailblazing pioneer whose inventive use of rhythm continues to influence contemporary jazz.

He was an excellent drummer and a born, instinctive musician. Every sound he generated was a combination of the street and his own inner, very unique, deliberate vision.

Legendary NFL Former Player Nick Mangold Has Passed Away - Cause Of Death

 

On Sunday, October 26, 2025, family members announced that Nick Mangold had passed away from renal failure. Unfortunately, he ran out of time while he was on an organ donor list. He was only forty-one.

 

Nick was revered both on and off the field and is considered a legend in the New York Jets' history. The announcement follows the seven-time NFL Pro Bowler's announcement two weeks ago that he was seeking a kidney donor and receiving dialysis.

Mangold discovered he had chronic kidney illness in 2006, but he didn't disclose it to anyone until last month.

“I don’t think anybody knew about it other than the doctors and my family,’’ Mangold said. “I didn’t want any cloud hanging over anything that I did.”

 

However, that changed when Mangold's health deteriorated recently, necessitating three weekly dialysis sessions.

He admitted that it was frightening to hear that he would require a kidney transplant.

Many people who had that wonderful time with him have been deeply affected by his passing. He leaves behind four kids and his wife, Jennifer.
