[td]*::If a death is not notable enough for its own article, it's (generally) not notable enough for ITN. Old man dies, and all. Some deaths are worth posting because of their direct effect - those of serving heads of state, or assassinations. Occasionally, very occasionally, you can justify one for a private citizen or retired politician. But a fashion designer? It might be news in Italy, but certainly not globally.
