Leon Redbone died on the 30th. rip.

[ashbury]

Leon Redbone died on the 30th. rip.

Considering that his father was Paganini and his mother was Jenny Lind, his age was such that by most scoring systems he will cost points to whoever drafted him.

[biggentleben]

I ended up not putting him on due to reports that things were "stable" this winter, but Cameron Boyce obviously took a downfall. The Disney Channel actor was just 20 when he passed away in his sleep Friday evening.
