24 Apr 2017 Lynne says "Just had a phone call from Leeanne Norris to update on her mum and dad. They had both been moved into a nursing home earlier in the month, but Dunc ended up in hospital with severe back pain. It is unsure whether osteoporosis or his prostate cancer moving into his bones was causing it. Apparently, he has been deteriorating very quickly and his Doctors believe he has days rather than weeks left. He is to be moved back to the nursing home so he can be with Sade."
30 Apr 2017 Lynne says "Duncan Norris had passed away today and his funeral is Thursday."
