The 5Ws:
Who- Grace Jones

News values:
Immediacy- Although the day that Grace Jones died is not included in the article, it is clear that it was very recent
Familiarity- This article is geographically close to the readers based in London

Personalisation- People can probably relate to the story because everyone knows of elderly people who have passed away
Negativity- Someone passing away is negative news
