BREAKING NEWS: EDWARD PLANTAGENET DEAD AT 58
The date of Mayor Edward Plantagenet’s highly anticipated dinner party was discovered last night, though in the most unexpected and tragic way possible. The death of New York City’s most influential politician was formally announced by his younger brother Richard earlier this morning. The Mayor’s untimely death was undoubtedly linked to the cancer from which he was confirmed to be suffering. An explanation of the events surrounding Edward Plantagenet’s death have been pieced together from the statements of those in attendance at the dinner party and the Times’ own inquiries.
The formal four course dinner ended at approximately twenty minutes past eight. Mayor Plantagenet then made a speech in which he confirmed his fatal illness (a subject of rumour for a good few weeks) and urged those in attendance to help him in securing a stable and peaceful state for the city, seemingly fearing it would degrade into chaos without good leadership and examples from the elites of society. It was as he drew to the conclusion of his speech that the Mayor collapsed, allegedly having suffered from severe chest pains throughout, leading to his black-out.
Details of what occurred after the Mayor’s collapse are sparse, although his death was pronounced to be of natural causes. The time of death, according to sources, was a few minutes past nine. His younger brother, Richard Plantagenet, was with him when he died; when asked to comment on his brother’s death Richard said that Edward’s death came as ‘a great shock’ and that ‘he was taken from us far too soon’. However he was reluctant to comment on the circumstances surrounding the Mayor’s death and, doubtless for reasons of grief and trauma, humbly requested that no more questions be asked.
The Times will have updates on the aftermath of the Mayor’s death as they come. The funeral date is said to be in discussion, as are the expected upcoming elections for the candidates to take over as mayor of New York City. Read more here.
Don't forget to read our exclusive interview with Richard Plantagenet and Anne Lancaster. We will go in depth about all of the events surrounding the dinner and the political consequences of Edward's death.

EXCLUSIVE: POLITICAL REFUGEE ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
Medea Kekelidze, a well-known and renowned toxicologist, has sought asylum in New York City after being exiled from her home in Greece. The exile was ordered shortly before the death of an influential politician and his daughter, who was engaged to Ms. Kekelidze's ex-husband. Whether Ms. Kekelidze was involved in the deaths is unclear, as she has not been formally charged, but she has been warned not to return to the Mediterranean country. More details are forthcoming.
