SADLY, DEFINITELY DEAD

Patrick Cranshaw — the 86-year-old whose performance as Blue in Old School made him a hero to frat boys who hope never to outgrow keggers — passed away of natural causes Wednesday at his home in Fort Worth. That same day, The Wire's Richard DeAngelis died of congestive heart failure. The 73-year-old actor, who played police colonel Raymond Foerster on the HBO drama, was also suffering from complications from prostate cancer.
