His death could have been a Public Health Warning

Let’s be clearer. Barry Humphries died because he ” fell over” and even hip surgery couldn’t save him. When the elderly fall over and are hospitalised 30% they rarely recover. Lack of balance comes with age and is more often the cause of death. Barry even said ” it was his fault a stupid accident” He tripped and fell over.

If you’re over 65 close your eyes with your hands by your side and try standing on one leg for 12 seconds to test your balance.

Celebrated Australian entertainer Barry Humphries is being celebrated globally after dying aged 89 from complications after hip surgery.
