And they die an equal death - the idler and the man of mighty deeds

Remembering those we lost in 2009: some well known, some less so, and all of them important.

Firstly, the brothers who were taken this year, all of them young, and mostly murdered in hate crimes. These are the faces who made headlines, but spare a thought for the countless young gay men tortured and executed under homophobic regimes across the globe: Iran, Jamaica and any number of African countries.


2009 was quite the year for celebrity deaths. Although many led full lives and passed away in their latter years. Many were snatched away tragically young...

Also lost in 2009: Bob May (the Robot in Lost In Space), Tony Hart (children's TV presenter), Jade Goody (the Big Brother star), Mickey Carroll (one of the original Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz), Farrah Fawcett, Patrick Swayze, Barry Letts (the Doctor Who director, producer & writer), Maggie Jones (the Coronation Street actress), and porn stars Dustin Michaels and Daxx Reed.

In 2008, 28 teenage boys were murdered in London. This year, that number more than halved - but the death toll still stands at twelve...
