Entertainment news turned somber today, led by the death of James Burrows at 85, the quietly towering director and “Cheers” co-creator whose timing and visual grammar helped define the modern sitcom across classics from “Taxi” to “Friends,” “Frasier,” and “Will & Grace.” Elsewhere, tragedy struck at the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach resort in the Dominican Republic, where a major fire forced the evacuation of roughly 1,700 tourists and left a 46-year-old Italian woman dead, with several others treated or hospitalized as investigators work to determine the cause. New York is also confronting questions of tourist safety after an 18-year-old visitor was killed in a runaway horse-carriage incident in Central Park, prompting a temporary suspension of the rides while operators review safety protocols. In India, meanwhile, regulators issued a fresh set of recovery-related orders in the JMD Telefilms case.
