All these names cry for an update, and it's a big one. Lots of points for lots of people, many picked Sarah Harding, Jimmy Greaves and Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Etib also gets points for Jean-Paul Belmondo and Gooseberry Crumble with another unique hit, Jane Powell. Plus, Amy Winifred Hawkins is a hit for Great Uncle Bulgaria. Book and Chilean way also had Neddy Smith, the Australian serial killer. Finally, we have a replacement hit with Terry Lubbock, for quite a few players. And as an aside note, of course, I managed, even with only two replacement slots for myself, to switch out Suzy Friton who would have been a unique hit for me (not changing my rank a lot though). The resulting scoreboard doesn't show a lot of switched places, well except for the big jumps of Great Uncle Bulgaria and also Bibliogryphon, but Cpt. Chorizo's lead is now back to more than a hundred points. Rank Team Score 1 Cpt.

The reaper has woken up ? And didn’t take Dole ? Damn

RIP Jimmy Greaves. Very under appreciated for his football talent. Wonderful player.

Oops, next hit was quick. Keep on going DL!

Just found out this pic of Shultz and his wife. Worth sharing I thought. Enjoy.

2 deaths in 3 days - recompense I assume? In all honesty, RIP.

The grim reaper is obviously targetting the most famous people on the list, so i guess i'll go with the internationally-recognized frank williams.

Joanne woodward

He's 92 in October, and last I heard (caveat - pre-covid days) doing well. He saved his money well and decided to retire his 60s to watch his family grow up, and fish. He did show up in a music video for his sons mediocre band in 2007 which he briefly talks about here: But otherwise, quiet retirement. Good actor, always a good chap to see in things. Here he is in January 2021:

Like buses…

Bouteflika's death lifted En Passant onto the podium. And Jimmy Greaves closes the gap between HDS and Salmon Mousse down to measly two points. Now, that's a race...

Was watching the 1983 BBC adaptation of Jane Eyre recently so I will add my voices to those calling for more attention for rent a victorian lawyer Colin Jeavons

Things to keep in mind about any person you choose: Are they likely to obit in a major newspaper? Are they a well known celebrity? Do they have a Wikipedia page in any language (that clearly wasn't made just for Deathlisting) You will not be asked to prove any of these when you post your link, but upon your candidates death you may need to meet some of these criteria. @Banana, @gcreptile thanks for those suggestions. I think they're good criteria to keep in mind. I don't want peoples Shadow DeathLists to be challenged as they post here as has happened, but for when someone dies to score a point they should be taken into consideration. I feel mixed. I could flip the switch and have clear, stricter criteria. But ShadowList's should be fun and relaxed. People probably already have a ShadowList of 50 celebs, I would like them to just use that.

Statement from Chris Cairns, looking rather well considering.

@Genfærd... How are your family members? I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer. With my fraternal prayers and best wishes with respect to those serious health problems, which I am sure will be of a timely character. All the best.

That doesn't really help at the selection stage

Anto Finnegan reportedly dead:

The Germany squad is going to start dropping like flies soon.

Kane Tanaka is one year older than Nabi Tajima (4th oldest validated person ever)

Well it is still almost 3.5 months till the years is over, so it's still a little to earlyto say this year is a failure
