Deaths elsewhere

The Rev. Thomas M. King, 80, a Jesuit priest and Georgetown University theology professor who blessed the film crew and sets for the 1973 movie "The Exorcist" after the production had a string of bad luck, died June 23 in Washington. "I think an actor had died previously and other things happened," he said. The blessing "took about a minute." ASSOCIATED PRESS
