'Dancing with the Stars' judge Len Goodman predicted his own death
foxnews.com"Dancing with the Stars" judge Len Goodman predicted his own death four months before he died last week. In December, Goodman reflected on how he would like to die and the timeframe of his death. "Bing Crosby had the right idea," the professional ballroom dancer told the Daily Mail at the time. "He played 18 holes of golf, then, bosh, dropped down dead. "I don't want a load of lingering.
My dad had the right idea, too. He loved gardening, and he had a stroke while he was out in the garden. He was 79. So, if I go the way of my dad, that'll be next year." The television star died just three days short of his 79th birthday.
Goodman even shared what he wanted his obituary to say. "Just write: 'He was a dance teacher from Dartford who got lucky,'" he said. "Because that's just about the truth of it." Goodman died Saturday, surrounded by his family, under hospice care in Kent, England.
He had been battling bone cancer. Goodman had been diagnosed with different forms of cancer in the past. In 2009, he shared that he had a cancerous tumor removed from his prostate gland.
