Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a hit for @Bibliogryphon, @drol, @Joey Russ, @Perhaps, @Johnnas, @theoldlady, @YorkshireBanker and @The Unknown Man. Scoreboard updated. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I should have listened to my earlier gut feeling. Alan Curtis is dead according to the the chairman of Elstree Studios.

“no terminally ill picks.” Terminal cancer is a terminal illness.

Out of all the people on this year's list, I'd say it's either Akihito or Khamenei who's the last man standing.

Sheik Yamani, one of THE names of the 70's, dead at 90.

They need to expunge that wink from the records. It has duly been reclassified as a face mask adjustment.

Got bored. Made another Deadpool. Here are the rules: 1. You choose one person over 70. 2. They will be put in a tournament system, with brackets of 2. 3. If your pick dies before your opponent’s, you win and advance to the next round. 4. They must have an obituary from any site used by the Derby Dead Pool. 5. No FFBI picks, and no terminally ill picks. (a. la. Leah Bracknell) 6. We must know the year of birth and their Wikipedia page must have over 500 words. 7. Game starts on March 1st. 8. You will need a new pick for every round. I will be taking Chuck Schumer.

I’m getting that feeling as well. I hedged a few places but he was my big buy.

I'm a little late, yes he is

I'd like to see it going to court...because as soon as the Queen walked into the court, the judge would have to vacate the bench on the basis they are representing the Crown and there can't be two crowns. And you're not going to see a case of Regina v Regina's Son any time soon. Not to mention, all else aside, hospital visiting rules are set by individual trusts or, in the case of private hospitals, the hospital. At worst, the rules of a hospital have been broken. But this hospital's website makes clear visitors are not entirely banned.

False alarm, he is alive. It seems his family denied it. Alas, respectably immortal.

20 does not equal 50
