Two authors dead in MH17 disaster

[Greg]

Reading about some of the victims of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 disaster in Ukraine, I noticed that at least two of them are authors with books listed on GR. Their author profiles will need to be updated in due course.

One is Liam Davison, an Australian novelist who wrote, among other works, The White Woman and the award-winning Soundings. His wife, Frankie, died with him. An article about them from Victoria state's The Age can be found here: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/awa....

Dutch AIDS researcher, Joep Lange, who appears to be both Joep Lange and Joep M. a. Lange, had contributed to research on AIDS since the 1980s and was on his way to attend AIDS 2014, the 20th International AIDS Conference, in Melbourne, Australia, aboard the ill-fated flight. The New York Times writes about him here: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/19/hea....

May they and the other victims of the disaster rest in peace.
