So, via Joey's post, the list distills into: Already Gone: 1. MTM 2. Joost 3. Rockefeller 4. Brady 5. Noakes 6. Sallis 7. Christie On the Clock (either terminally ill or so ill, news of death at any moment would not surprise*): 8. Liz Dawn 9. Jerry Lewis 10. Glen Campbell 11. Akihito 12. Ian St John 13. Bruce Forsyth 14. Nobby stiles 15. Gord Downie 16. Leah Bracknell 17. Tony Booth 18. King Michael of Romania (*Nor would they surviving into 2018, of course - vagaries of death...) 50/50rs - folk who could go this year or linger, but appear to be nearing the end: 19. Jill Gascoine (?) 20. George Bush Sr (?) 21. Gay Byrne (?) And the longterm Deathlist favourites, law of averages (and history) says two of these names will be pan breed by December 31st: 22. 2 of Kirk Douglas/Vera Lynn/Rev Billy G/Carrington/Philip/Norden/Olivia/Dole/lamotta/de Cuellar/Domino I think it'll average out to 13 or 14 out of 50. Now, watch Betty White keel over tomorrow while Booth and Downie soldier on to 2018!

I see Widow's Peak is chasing mscs record.

Don't Panic!

They've all signed up for a new series of The Adams Family

Fecking google....

As reported elsewhere, al-Baghdadi may have been killed by a Russian airstrike. I swear, if the Ruskis took the fucker out, this is yet another embarrassment for the USA. I don't even know where the fuck we stand anymore. We're trying to fight ISIS but we're also funding ISIS to fight Assad. Are we also funding Assad to fight ISIS? Many decades ago, the US had some respect worldwide. Now all we do is invade 3rd world countries nobody's heard of for oil, or fund terrorists.

As long as they think he'll obit and know of his illness, they'll pick him. I doubt any of them knew who Fergie Frederiksen or Errol Christie was.

Words to strike terror into any nonagenarian, Joey.

So are we but nobody ever offers us accolades for our sterling work.

A Kiss Before Dying? I would prefer this answer if the 'Kissers' were to the left of the coffin. There are also films called 'The Death Kiss' and 'Death Kiss' but I'm not sure these are famous enough based on the other answers.

Hmmmm. I think I like it ! ! !

So was the one where Charlotte Rae was a stripper.

Apologies, put them in a spoiler. I only listed them as I thought most would be wrong. Edit: And as drunkasskunk has pointed out below I was right. Back to the drawing board

Nope. Adnan Khashoggi, Countess Mountbatten, Adam West, Kailash Puri, Vin Garbutt, Helen Dunmore.

Oh well if we're just listing them and ruining everyone's fun............... I have Cloverfield for 6 and your number 10 is definitely wrong.

If April 2014 is recent to you, then sure.

Lib Dems are always run best by Scotlands - Grimond, Steel, Kennedy, etc. Ok, ignore Ming... Whereas when non-Scots run them, they prop up the Tories and have pet dogs shot.

Just realised this means all the dictators at the pool party from the "Petoria" episode of Family Guy are now dead (Milosevic, Hussein, Gadaffi, Castro, Kim Jong-Il, Amin and Noriega himself).

Russia claims it has killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. I know he is often reported dead but now BBC, AP, Sky and Reuters are running with it, could be legitimate. Hope so, he's no. 1 on my list. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40300164 If true then good going Putin.
