2005 was definitely not a good year as far as deaths are concerned. Here's hoping that there were children born in 2005 that will grow up to do great things for this world, and to the hope that 2006 will be better.

I was especially upset about Peter Jennings dying. I think he was the best news caster that ever lived.

Prince Ranier III of Monaco

I think his name is Rainier. I am not sure this was a "notable" death in 2005.
