I find it interesting the way John says "tragically aged forty...four" in the last post's video. Zach H. will tell you "44" is the
death number.
Looking at Lisa Shaw's bio, something interesting, she didn't have a wiki page until after her death. And even now there is not much more, though given the possibility of a court case, I'm sure there are writers currently beavering away creating a back-story for her.

Family, listeners and colleagues have paid tribute to a BBC local radio presenter who has died aged 44.
Lisa Shaw, who joined BBC Radio Newcastle's daytime team in 2016, died in hospital after a short illness.
Her voice was well-known in the north-east of England, where she had also had success in commercial radio.
BBC Radio Newcastle's acting executive editor Rik Martin said everyone at the station was "devastated and thinking about Lisa's lovely family".
"She was a trusted colleague, a brilliant presenter, a wonderful friend, and a loving wife and mum," he said.
"She loved being on the radio and was loved by our audiences.
"We've lost someone special who meant a great deal to a great many people."
Her last radio broadcast was on 07/05/2021 - Mid-morning on BBC Radio Newcastle, music list is on the link.

Considering her apparent high profile, winning the"Sony Gold Award for breakfast show of the year" and have a show on BBC local radio, it is rather curious she didn't have a wiki page until five days after her death was officially announced.
Ms Shaw was from County Durham and studied at Bournemouth University.
The hash tag "RIP Lisa" was trending on Twitter after her death was announced on Sunday morning, with listeners and colleagues paying tribute.
One called her a "broadcasting legend" while another said she had "an infectious laugh that we all remember".
Her BBC colleague Stephanie Finnon said Ms Shaw was an "incredible presenter" who was "hilarious, unflappable, the ultimate pro", while co-worker Martin Lindsay said he would "best remember the countless laughs and general silliness".
Ms Shaw had also worked for North East commercial stations, Metro Radio, Heart, Century Radio and Real Radio, where she won the Sony Gold Award for breakfast show of the year.
Chris Burns, head of BBC Local Radio, said: "Lisa was a talented presenter who had already achieved a lot and would have achieved much more."
So, 23 May 2021, the date of the above report is the same day as the announcement on Sunday morning. It would appear her wiki page was created at 15:19 on 28 May 2021. That is curious.Things like death are usually updated in hours. The first Wayback grab is on
5 June 2021.
