Mel Schilling Dies: ‘Married At First Sight’ Relationship Coach Was 54

 

She was not on the list.


Mel Schilling, best known as a relationship coach on the reality show Married At First Sight, has died. She was 54.

Schilling’s family confirmed her death this morning with a statement first published by the Press Association. Schilling was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023, but recently said the cancer had spread.

The family’s statement said Schilling “passed away peacefully today, surrounded by love.”

“This is a woman who, through two years of chemotherapy, when she could barely lift her head from the pillow, never complained and never stopped showing courage, grace, compassion, and empathy, and never missed a day of filming,” the family’s statement continued.

“On behalf of our family and her incredible friendship group, thank you for the support from around the world. Life can be beautiful, and life can be incredibly cruel. But ultimately, life is fleeting, fragile, and tomorrow is promised to no one.”

The statement ended by calling on fans to honor Schilling by living “life to the full, love your people well, and try not to sweat the small stuff.”

Schilling was first cast on Married At First Sight in her home country, Australia. She later joined the UK version, which airs on E4. In a statement, Channel 4 said it was “privileged to be the channel that is home to Mel’s work, which was at the heart of Married At First Sight’s phenomenal success, both in the UK and Australia.”

The network’s statement continued: “We’d like to pay tribute to Mel as a person. For many who work for Channel 4, Mel was not just a colleague but a friend, someone who radiated joy, warmth, and optimism, who energized every room she walked into with humour and positivity. Everyone who knew her will miss all this about her and much more. We share in the sorrow that we’re sure many viewers will now feel at this terrible loss.”

Valerie Perrine obit

Valerie Perrine Dies: ‘Superman’, ‘Lenny’ Oscar Nominee & ‘Slaughterhouse-Five’ Actor Was 82

 She was not on the list.


Valerie Perrine, whose memorable film roles included a porn actress abducted by aliens in Slaughterhouse-Five, Lex Luthor’s secretary in two Superman films and an Oscar-nominated performance as the wife of Lenny Bruce in Lenny, died Monday at her home in Beverly Hills following a 15-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. She was 82.

Her death was announced by friend Stacey Souther, who has set up a GoFundMe page to help defray funeral costs.

“Valerie Perrine gave everything she had to her craft, her fans, and her life — with grace, humor, and an indomitable spirit that Parkinson’s itself could never fully extinguish,” Souther writes. “Let’s make sure her final chapter is written with the same dignity and love that she gave to all of us.”

Born September 3, 1943, in Galveston, Texas, Perrine became a Las Vegas showgirl in 1968 before moving to the Nevada city. She later recalled that she met an agent at a dinner party who was looking for someone to play the character of softcore porn actress Montana Wildhack in George Roy Hill’s film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. “That’s how I became an actress,” she said in a 2025 interview.

In 1973, Perrine was cast in the PBS presentation of Bruce Jay Friedman’s acclaimed hit Off Broadway play Steambath, a performance that’s often credited for including the first appearance of naked female breasts in network TV history.

If Perrine’s performances to that point had been as infamous as famous, she proved any naysayers wrong in 1974 when she gave an Oscar-nominated (and Cannes-winning) performance in Bob Fosse’s Lenny, playing Lenny Bruce’s stripper wife Honey Bruce opposite Dustin Hoffman’s title character. She followed up that role by appearing two years later in Arthur Hiller’s well-received W.C. Fields biopic W.C. and Me; she played the classic comic’s mistress Carlotta Monti opposite Rod Steiger.

In what would become a signature role, Perrine took on the role of Miss Eve Teschmacher, girlfriend of villain Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman), in the wildly popular Superman (1978) and its sequel Superman II, both starring Christopher Reeve in the title role.

Perrine next played Charlotta Steele, ex-wife of Robert Redford’s rodeo champ in The Electric Horseman (1979).

Perrine’s winning streak hit a wall in 1980 when she appeared in the notorious Village People flop Can’t Stop the Music, a performance that earned her a Razzie Award nomination. “It ruined my career,” she later said. “I moved to Europe after, I was so embarrassed.”

If Can’t Stop the Music stalled Perrine’s appearances in top-line projects — as it did with most others associated with it — she nonetheless continued working. Subsequent credits included The Border with Jack Nicholson, NBC miniseries The Secrets of Lake Success and the short-lived CBS sitcom Leo & Liz in Beverly Hills with Harvey Korman. In 2000 she had a small role in the Mel Gibson film What Women Want.

On television, Perrine also appeared in a 1995 episode of Homicide: Life on the Street as an ex-girlfriend of Richard Belzer’s Detective John Munch who displays a large nude photo of him taken decades earlier in an art exhibit near the police station. Other TV credits include appearances on Northern Exposure, ER, Nash Bridges, The Practice, Just Shoot Me! and Third Watch, among others.

In 2020, Perrine’s friend Souther directed a 36-minute documentary, title Valerie, that chronicled Perrine’s carrer and battle with Parkinson’s disease.

She is survived by her brother Kenneth, who also has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Poker Legend and Author of 'The Theory of Poker' David Sklansky Passes Away

 

He was not on the list.


Poker legend and author David Sklansky, who authored 18 gambling books, including one of the most important poker strategy books ever, passed away on March 23 at the age of 78, PokerNews has learned. Sklansky passed away in Las Vegas after experiencing heart failure.

Born December 22, 1947, in Teaneck, New Jersey, Sklansky, who is nicknamed "The Mathematician" for advocating a mathematical approach to poker in the 1970s, won two World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets in 1982 and his most recent one in 1983. He appeared on numerous televised poker shows during the 2000s, including the Poker Superstars, which aired on Fox Sports Net during the height of the poker boom.

At the WSOP, Sklansky won the 1982 WSOP Event #7: $800 Mixed Doubles Limit Seven Card Stud, a tournament that paired one man with one woman, alongside Dani Kelly, and followed that up by taking down Event #12: $1,000 Limit 5-Card Draw High. That year, gold watches were actually awarded instead of bracelets. A year later, when the WSOP reverted back to bracelets, Sklansky won his third piece of gold hardware by winning Event #11: $1,000 Limit Omaha.

However, Sklansky is perhaps best known for his gambling-related books, most notably the iconic 1978 book The Theory of Poker, considered by many to be the most important poker strategy book ever.

Sklansky’s reputation and abilities even inspired Brunson to recruit him to pen the Seven-card Stud Hi-Lo Split chapter in his 1979 book How I Made Over $1,000,000 Playing Poker, which later rereleased as Super/System.

Sklansky previously told PokerNews of the time, “Even though these guys weren't mathematical, they were often making proposition bets. They were making bets with each other about which hand was better, and then when they met me, they found out that they didn't have to deal it out to find out which was better. I could tell them with pencil and paper which is better. So, I was accepted fairly quickly because they knew it was a big thing.”

Sklansky had $1,410,664 in lifetime tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob. That included a career-best $419,040 for finishing third in the 2006 World Poker Tour (WPT) $10,000 Borgata Poker Open.

"In poker, if you're better than anyone else, you make immediate money,” he is quoted as saying in Al Alvarez's 1983 work The Biggest Game in Town. “If there's something I know about the game that the other person doesn't, and if he's not willing to learn or can't understand, then I take his money."

Sklansky didn’t play much poker over the past decade. In fact, he only had two small cashes in 2024, his first since 2017, which is when he made a deep run in the WSOP Event #40: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, taking 13th place.

Noted Author

While he’s had success as a player, Sklansky is better known for his prolific writing career having either authored or co-authored 18 poker/gambling books. Some of his better-known works include Hold’em Poker, DUCY? Exploits, Advice, and Ideas of the Renowned Strategist, Limit Hold’em for Advanced Players, and Sklansky Talks Blackjack.

Most recently in December 2023, Sklansky joined forces with Mason Malmuth to release Small Stakes No-Limit Hold’em: Help Them Give You Their Money: Exploiting Weaknesses in Small Stakes No-Limit Hold’em Games, which is available now on Amazon.

“At one point, I accomplished something that, as far as I know, only JK Rowling has also accomplished, which is, I had three books on Amazon's Top 100 at the same time,” Sklansky once told PokerNews. “They rate their books from like 1 to 5 million. I had three in the top, not high, something like 40, 60, and 80, but they were three at the same time during the Poker Boom.”

Controversies

Sklansky was no stranger to controversy. Earlier this year, he was arrested for domestic battery, though the district attorney declined to file formal charges.

In 2008, Sklansky was embroiled in the Brandi Hawbaker saga, one that ultimately led to her committing suicide. Matt Berkey and company covered the situation in-depth in an episode of Only Friends a few years back.

Poker Hall of Fame?

Some would argue that Sklansky’s career is worthy of the Poker Hall of Fame, though it wasn’t something he aspired to.

“I know bad things about many people in the world. I've heard stories about a lot of the people that are in there, too,” Sklansky told PokerNews. “I was offered the Hall of Fame twice. People came and said, ‘If you put your name up this year, you're going to get it.’ It has people in there that are bad people, and it also has people there who are absolutely not.”

He added, “I like to think that in more recent years it's become a little more legitimate than back in the day when they were just putting up anyone, but there are still a lot of issues. There are people who deserve to be in it that aren't in it. Right now, some of the best players in the world are not even known.”

Regardless of his thoughts and faults, there's no denying that Sklansky was one of the most influential individuals in the game of poker, especially in the 1970s and 80s. PokerNews offers its condolences to the friends and family of David Sklansky.

Ronnie Bowman obit

Ronnie Bowman passes

 He was not on the list.


Terribly tragic news from Nashville.

Ronnie Bowman has died at Vanderbilt Hospital at roughly 3:00 p.m. today, Nashville time, after being seriously injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday afternoon in Ashland City, TN. He was 64 years of age.

Bowman was one of the most beloved bluegrass artists of the past 45 years, as well as a deeply admired singer and songwriter. His was the voice that defined ’90s bluegrass, and his sincere smile and genuine love for everyone he met helped define the Lonesome River Band’s stage show for years.

The International Bluegrass Music Association had awarded him many times as Male Vocalist of the Year (1995, 1998, 1999), and his Cold Virginia Night album from ’95 was named Album of the Year. The title track was awarded Song of the Year. Additionally, Three Rusty Nails from his Man I’m Trying To Be album won for Gospel Performance of the Year in 1999.

Many people have been described as “the nicest guy in the world,” or “always happy to see you,” but that is truly who Ronnie Bowman was. You would search in vain for someone who didn’t like him, and many of his true friends in the music industry are deeply mourning this afternoon.

No funeral arrangements have been announced, as his family is still in shock. We will share further details as they are announced. We will also put together a more complete career overview. in the coming days

This is a grave and near insurmountable loss to friends and family, and the wider bluegrass and country music community. Much of Nashville is weeping.

A native of Mount Airy, North Carolina, Bowman sang gospel music from age three until his late teens. He sang in his family band with his four sisters, playing at churches in North Carolina and Virginia.

Bowman joined bluegrass band The Lost and Found in 1987 and performed with them for two years.

From 1990 until 2001, Bowman was the vocalist and bass player in the Lonesome River Band, with bandmates Sammy Shelor, Dan Tyminski, and Tim Austin. Their 1991 album Carrying the Tradition was named the IBMA 1991 Album of the Year.

Cold Virginia Night, released in 1994, featured appearances by Alison Krauss, Del McCoury, and Tony Rice.

Bowman released Starting Over in 2003, with Don Cook producing several songs. Bowman was also assisted by Tyminski, Jerry Douglas, and Barry Bales (all from Union Station), Ron Stewart, and Steve Gulley.

Bowman 2006's It’s Gettin’ Better All The Time in Nashville with members of his group The Committee: Wyatt Rice (guitar), Andy Hall (resonator guitar), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle, vocals), and Garnet Imes Bowman (vocalist and Ronnie's wife). Special guests included Del McCoury, Rob McCoury, Ronnie McCoury, Dan Tyminski, and John Barlow Jarvis.

For Chris Stapleton's Traveller album, Bowman wrote "Nobody to Blame" with Stapleton and Barry Bales, and "Outlaw State of Mind" with Stapleton and Jerry Salley.

Lee Ann Womack included Bowman's song "The Healing Kind" (co-written with Greg Luck) on the album I Hope You Dance.

Bowman's song "It's Getting Better All the Time" (co-written with Don Cook) was recorded by Brooks & Dunn.

Bowman and Stapleton also wrote "Never Wanted Nothing More" which Kenny Chesney included on his album Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates.

Besides Bowman, the Band of Ruhks includes two other former Lonesome River Bandmates: Don Rigsby and Kenny Smith. Ralph Stanley provided vocals on the song "Coal Minin' Man." The band got their name from the ancient Persian word for a warrior's chariot

R.I.P., Ronnie Bowman.

Simon Property Group Announces the Passing of David Simon

 

He was not on the list.


INDIANAPOLIS, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- It is with profound sorrow and immense respect that the Board of Directors of Simon Property Group, Inc. (NYSE: SPG) announces the passing of David Simon, the Company's visionary Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President — the singular leader who built Simon Property Group into the largest and most admired retail real estate company in the world. He was 64 years old.

Mr. Simon passed away peacefully on March 22, 2026 surrounded by his family, after a courageous battle with cancer. The Board of Directors, the Company's employees, and the entire global Simon community mourn this immeasurable loss.

Statement from the Simon Family

The Simon family shared the following statement:

"Our family is deeply grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love and support we have received from across the globe. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother poured his heart and soul into building Simon Property Group. He was most proud of his family, his wife of over 40 years Jackie, and their 5 children: Eli, Rebecca, Hannah, Sam and Noah, and 7 grandchildren. We ask for privacy as we grieve our great loss."

Leadership Continuity and Succession

The Board of Directors has always had a strong emphasis on succession planning for its executive leadership team, driven by David Simon's deep commitment to the Company's long-term future. The Board has been focused and engaged in thoughtful and comprehensive succession planning on an ongoing basis.   As a result of their hard work, effective today, the Board has appointed Eli Simon as its Chief Executive Officer and President. In addition, Eli will continue as Chief Operating Officer and Director. The Board expresses its full confidence in Eli's leadership skills and abilities to guide the Company forward.  The Board is also confident with the forward vision, strength, depth, and capability of the executive management team that Eli will lead, and which he has garnered their unwavering respect and support.

In addition, Larry Glasscock has been appointed by the Board to serve as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board consistent with these succession planning efforts and the Company's Governance Principles.

The Company's shareholders, partners, employees, tenants and lenders can be assured and comforted that its operations will continue without interruption, supported by a world-class management team and a portfolio of irreplaceable assets that have been built to continue seamlessly, as a lasting testament to David Simon's extraordinary vision.

Statement from Larry Glasscock, Non-Executive Chairman

Larry Glasscock, Non- Executive Chairman of the Board, issued the following statement on behalf of the Board of Directors:

"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the Simon family. We are profoundly grateful for the privilege of having served alongside David, and we pledge to honor his extraordinary legacy by continuing to uphold the principles of excellence he embodied every single day."

"There are no words adequate to express the depth of our sorrow or the magnitude of our gratitude. David Simon was, quite simply, the finest leader in the history of the retail real estate industry. His extraordinary intellect, his relentless drive for excellence, and his unmatched strategic vision transformed a privately held family business into an esteemed global institution — creating billions of dollars in value for shareholders along the way.

"David's legacy transcends financial performance. He was a leader of uncommon integrity, fierce loyalty, and deep personal conviction. He inspired everyone around him to reach higher, think bigger, and never settle. He set the standard — not just for our Company, but for an entire industry. All of the Simon Malls®, the world-class Simon Premium Outlets®, and every mixed-use destination in our portfolio bears the imprint of his vision and his exacting standards.

A Once-in-a-Generation Leader: The Legacy of David Simon

David Simon's career stands as one of the most remarkable leadership stories in the history of American business. Over more than three decades, he took a regional family real estate enterprise and, through sheer force of vision, intellect, and will, built it into the undisputed global leader in retail real estate — a company that reshaped the industry and redefined what a real estate investment trust could become.

David joined the Company's predecessor, Melvin Simon & Associates, as Chief Financial Officer in 1990, bringing with him the rigorous analytical training of a Wall Street investment banker first honed at First Boston Corporation and then at Wasserstein Perella & Co. In 1993, at just 31 years old, he orchestrated the Company's initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange — raising nearly $1 billion in what was then the largest real estate public stock offering in history. It was the first signal of the boldness and ambition that would define his entire career.

Named Chief Executive Officer in 1995 at the age of 33, David became one of the youngest CEOs of a major publicly traded company in America. What followed was an unparalleled era of growth, innovation, and value creation. Under his leadership, Simon Property Group delivered a cumulative total shareholder return of more than 4,500% since its IPO — a record that places David among the most successful value creators in the history of public markets, in any industry.

He was the architect of a series of transformative transactions that reshaped the competitive landscape of retail real estate. His acquisitions of DeBartolo Realty Corporation, Corporate Property Investors, Chelsea Property Group, the Mills Corporation, and Taubman Centers — among many others — were executed with a combination of strategic brilliance and financial discipline that became his hallmark. Each transaction strengthened the Company's portfolio and made it more efficient, expanded its reach and offerings to consumers, and reinforced its position as the unquestioned retail real estate industry leader. At the time of his passing, Simon Property Group owned or held interests in more than 250 properties comprising over 200 million square feet across North America, Europe, and Asia, generating billions in annual revenue.

David's genius lay not only in assembling assets, but in elevating them. He understood, earlier and more clearly than anyone in his industry, that retail destinations had to evolve from transactional spaces into experiential ones. Under his direction, the Company has invested billions in redeveloping and reimagining its properties — creating premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations that became true community gathering places. This vision has ensured the enduring relevance and vitality of Simon's portfolio even as the retail real estate landscape has been hit with seismic change.

His leadership during periods of crisis further revealed the depth of his character and capability. He steered the Company through the global financial crisis of 2008–2009, emerging with a stronger balance sheet and an expanded portfolio. When the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered retail properties worldwide in 2020, David moved with characteristic decisiveness — implementing safety protocols, supporting tenants, and positioning the Company for a rapid recovery that outpaced the broader industry. In every challenge, he saw opportunity; in every setback, he found a new path forward.

David's strategic vision extended well beyond the borders of the United States. He served, until recently, as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Klépierre, a publicly traded, Paris-based retail real estate company, and served on the board of Apollo Global Management, Inc., reflecting the breadth of his influence across global business and finance. The Harvard Business Review recognized him as one of the world's best-performing CEOs in both 2010 and 2013, and Barron's Magazine bestowed the same distinction in 2013 — honors that only begin to capture the esteem in which he was held by his peers, investors, and the broader business community.

Throughout his career, David maintained an industry-leading balance sheet, sustaining A/A3 credit ratings that reflected not only financial strength but the confidence that the capital markets placed in his stewardship. He returned billions of dollars to shareholders through consistent and growing dividends, while simultaneously reinvesting in the portfolio and pursuing strategic growth. It was a balancing act that few CEOs in any industry have managed with such sustained success.

David Simon was a graduate of The Indiana University Kelley School of Business (B.S., 1983) and Columbia University's Graduate School of Business (M.B.A., 1985). Before joining the family enterprise, he distinguished himself as an investment banker specializing in mergers and acquisitions and leveraged buyouts — a foundation that equipped him with the financial acumen and deal-making instincts that became defining features of his leadership.

Above all, David was a builder — of assets, of teams, of careers, and of an enduring institution. He cultivated a culture of excellence, accountability, and ambition that attracted and retained the finest talent in the industry. Countless executives and professionals credit David Simon with shaping their careers and setting the example of what great leadership looks like. His influence will be felt for generations to come.

Condolence and Memorial Information

Details regarding memorial services will be shared by the Simon family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the: Anti Defamation League,  American Jewish Committee, UJA Federation of New York and Foundation to Combat Antisemitism.

Lionel Jospin obit

French ex-Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, architect of the 35-hour week, dies at 88

 He was not on the list. 


PARIS — French former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, who gave France its 35-hour work week and then withdrew from politics after leading France’s Socialist Party to an earth-shaking presidential election defeat against far-right firebrand Jean-Marie Le Pen, has died. He was 88.

His death was confirmed by the current prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, after the national news agency, Agence France-Presse, reported that Jospin died on Sunday, citing his family.

Lecornu said in a post on X that Jospin “served France with constancy, rigor and a sense of responsibility” and that “his actions, guided by a certain vision of social progress and republican values, leave a lasting mark and a model of commitment.”

A tousle of white curls and thick-rimmed glasses gave Jospin the trappings of the economics professor he was before being unexpectedly named as head of the Socialist Party in 1981 by newly elected President Francois Mitterrand.

Untarnished by allegations of corruption, Jospin re-established credibility for the Socialists after bribery and fraud scandals led to their downfall in the 1993 parliamentary elections.

He became prime minister in 1997, holding the post until 2002, leading a broad left-wing government under French conservative President Jacques Chirac in a power-sharing arrangement dubbed “cohabitation.”

As prime minister, Jospin resisted shifting the French left toward free-market reforms embraced at the same time in Britain.

He enacted France’s parity law, required political parties to field the same number of male and female candidates in national elections, installed civil unions for LGBTQ+ and straight couples and lowered the work week from 39 hours to 35 hours, hailed as a social breakthrough by supporters but criticized by opponents as a shackle for the economy.

Jospin never embraced his role as a public figure, hampered by a restrained personality that grew even stiffer in front of cameras.

He abandoned politics after his shocking loss to Le Pen in the first round of presidential voting in 2002.

The polarizing Le Pen qualified for the second-round runoff against Chirac, the incumbent and first-round winner, by a whisker, relegating Jospin to third place. Le Pen and Jospin both got more than 16% of the vote but Le Pen's nearly 200,000 vote-advantage over Jospin saw him advance to round two, in a triumph for the anti-immigration founder of the far-right National Front and a body blow for Le Pen's opponents.

Determined to keep Le Pen out of the presidential Elysee Palace, voters rallied around Chirac in the runoff, who won a second term by a landslide.

Jospin was born July 12, 1937, the son of a midwife who, according to family lore, used the works of Voltaire to raise her pelvis while she was in labor.

“She believed I would have the spirit of Voltaire,” he said.

Jospin said his childhood memories of Nazi-occupied Paris tinged his outlook into adulthood.

“I have the memory of the importance of silence. If you weren’t quiet, you ran the risk of putting people in danger. Certainly in political life I've retained a certain horror of talkativeness,” he said.

He grew up in a Protestant family and attended the prestigious Ecole d'Administration Nationale, alma mater to a disproportionate share of French leaders and intellectuals.

Like many people in Paris and beyond, he got caught up in the left-wing protests of 1968. He was close to Trotskyists before joining the Socialist Party.

Despite mellowing over time, Jospin never lost his wariness of the free market, keeping his trademark phrase: “Yes to the market economy, no to a market society.”

NHL Reporter Jessi Pierce and Her Three Children Die in Minnesota House Fire

The 37-year-old hockey correspondent had worked for the league for a decade. 

She was not on the list.


NHL reporter Jessi Pierce and her three children died Saturday in a fire at her Minnesota home.

The family dog also perished in the fire, according to the White Bear Lake (Minn.) Fire Department.

Fire chief Greg Peterson said in a press release that firefighters from multiple locations responded to “a residential structure fire at a single-family home located at the 2100 block of Richard Avenue in White Bear Lake.” Neighbors who called 911 at 5:26 a.m. on Saturday morning “reported seeing fire coming through the roof of the house and stated there were likely people inside of the house. Upon arrival, crews found a fully involved structure fire and immediately began fire suppression efforts. Crews were then able to locate an adult, three children and a dog inside of the house. Unfortunately, all were deceased.”

The Minnesota State Fire Marshal’s Office will conduct an investigation into the source of the fire.

“Our hearts ache for those involved in this tragedy,” the White Bear Lake F.D. said. “We ask for the opportunity to allow our community to come together and support one another during this difficult time.”

Pierce, who was 37, had worked for the NHL, covering the Minnesota Wild as the correspondent for NHL.com, for 10 years.

“The entire National Hockey League family sends our prayers and deepest condolences to the Pierce family on the passing of Jessi Pierce and her three young children,” the league said in a statement. “Jessi loved our game and was a valued member of the NHL.com team for a decade. We will miss her terribly.”

Bill Price, vp and editor-in-chief of NHL.com, told ESPN in a statement: “The entire NHL.com team is devastated and heartbroken by the loss of Jessi and her children. Jessi’s love of her family and hockey was evident in the energy and passion she brought to her work for us. She was an absolute joy to talk to and work with. She will be deeply missed.”

Pierce and her husband, Mike, had three children together: Hudson, Cayden and Avery. According to messages posted on social media by a relative, he was out of town working at the time of the fire.

Pierce also was a co-host of the Bardown Beauties podcast.

Nicholas Brendon, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Star, Dies at 54

Best known for playing the lovable sidekick on the groundbreaking drama, he also had a recurring role in 'Criminal Minds' and starred in the film adaptation of Charles Busch's 'Psycho Beach Party.' 

He was not on the list.


Nicholas Brendon, the actor best known for playing lovable underdog Xander Harris on all seven seasons of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, died Friday. He was 54.

His family announced news of Brendon’s death in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter: “We are heartbroken to share the passing of our brother and son, Nicholas Brendon. He passed in his sleep of natural causes. Most people know Nicky for his work as an actor and for the characters he brought to life over the years. In recent years Nicky has found his passion in painting and art. Nicky loved to share his enthusiastic talent with his family, friends and fans. He was passionate, sensitive, and endlessly driven to create. Those who truly knew him understood that his art was one of the purest reflections of who he was. While it’s no secret that Nicholas had struggles in the past, he was on medications and treatment to manage his diagnosis and he was optimistic about the future at the time of his passing. Our family asks for privacy during this time as we grieve his loss and celebrate the life of a man who lived with intensity, imagination, and heart. Thank you to everyone who has shown love and support.”

Brendon had revealed in 2023 that he had suffered a heart attack and had been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. He also had cauda equina syndrome, which led to several spinal surgeries.

Though Buffy was arguably the highlight of Brendon’s acting career, he appeared in film and television roles until as recently as 2021. During breaks from Buffy, he starred in genre movies with titles like Demon Island and Unholy.

In 2000, he starred alongside Lauren Ambrose and Amy Adams in Sundance entry Psycho Beach Party. An adaptation of drag artist Charles Busch’s off-Broadway spoof of 1960s beach movies, it went on to achieve cult status.

His most prominent other TV credits included included a recurring stint on Criminal Minds and a one-season Fox sitcom Kitchen Confidential — an adaptation of Anthony Bourdain’s memoir of the same name that paired Brendon with Bradley Cooper.

Born in 1971 in Los Angeles as Nicholas Brendon Schultz, he originally wanted to become a professional baseball player. He then decided to pursue acting in an effort to manage his stutter, a disorder he’d later champion as a spokesperson for the Stuttering Foundation of America during the peak of Buffy‘s popularity.

Xander Harris was, not unlike Adam Brody’s Seth Cohen on The O.C., a character that helped shift the portrayal of the “nerd” in American popular culture. Speaking with THR in 2017, on the occasion of the series’ 20th anniversary, Brendon said as much when he described his typical dialogue with viewers.

“I actually don’t have a lot of crazy fan interactions,” said Brendon. “It’s just a bunch of dudes who say, ‘Man, you got me laid a lot in high school. You made it cool to be a nerd and awkward and funny.’ I wonder how many babies are out there because Xander got people laid.”

Starting in his 30s, Brendon suffered public struggles with substance abuse and mental illness. He was arrested multiple times and, starting in 2010, faced charges including felony vandalism, resisting or obstructing officers, criminal mischief and felony corporal injury to a spouse. The latter, his most notable, ended in a plea deal that included three years’ probation.

Throughout these troubles, he would issue statements of apology and even appeared on an episode of Dr. Phil to detail his issues with alcohol and his mental health struggles.

Those in Brendon’s orbit were said to have been optimistic about his recent outlook and attitude and had been hopeful that he’d finally turned a corner.

Among those survived by Brendon is his identical twin brother, Kelly Donovan. They were born three minutes apart and, despite the fact that Donovan never earnestly pursued acting, the two appeared alongside each other on two episodes of Buffy. That includes 2000’s “The Replacement,” in which Xander is split into two individuals — one with all of his good qualities (Donovan) and one with all of his faults (Brendon).

After this story was initially published, the family reposted the statement on X with a collection of photos of Brendon and followed it with images of Brendon’s recent paintings.
