Don King inexplicably turns 90 today. German media mentions his current beef with a german boxer. It seems like he goes on as usual. His great competitor in the promotion business, Bob Arum, turns 90 in December. Seems like boxing promotion is a healthier profession than one might have guessed.

Hmm, a Labour Deputy PM in the early 00s for 6 years who was quite left wing and had a habit of making comment on things the government weren't keen on, I think that Prescott comparison is probably more accurate than expected! Alas, nowt for "Sir Michael Cullen punches gobshite protester"...

Thanks ! I knew I'd picked him previously but thought it was on the death by numbers pool!

People are so stupid when it comes to COVID-19, Darwin Awards are theirs to win. Man sees father dying of COVID-19, still refuses vaccine, dies as well.

Ex NZ Deputy PM Sir Michael Cullen now culled. CaptainChorizo gains 40 points, msc 35, and drol 30.

Sir Michael Cullen dead: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300387274/former-labour-deputy-prime-minister-sir-michael-cullen-dies DDP Pick.

Has to be uk.news.yahoo, but yes, that exists, too.

Character actor LQ Jones, 94 today!

Austin Mitchell for the List of the Missed: http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2017/celebs_M.html#mitca0 Albert Bandura awaiting his death registered, I'm guessing we're awaiting another death to do a more comprehensive update.

2021 looks like being a bad year for Deathlist with no deaths from the list since April despite COVID. Fingers crossed for a rush before the year end.

Dead Man Walking.
