Death Notice for Edward Kellett-Bowman, aged 91: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/260901/kellett-bowman Wonder how many of @Bibliogryphon's list of survivors remain alive.

Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, the famed Argentine activist, architect, painter, professor, sculptor and writer who was awarded the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize for his activity for the protection of democracy and human rights for the people of Latin America, is 91 today. In 1977, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel was arrested and imprisoned, without a trial, for 14 months in which he was repeatedly tortured. Jamie Rose, American actress, primarily a television actress, who is probably widely known for her regular role as Vickie Gioberti, one of the young characters in the famous 1980s soap opera "Falcon Crest" from 1981 to 1983, is 63 today. Jamie Rose left "Falcon Crest" after only two seasons due to creative reasons, and she was replaced by Dana Sparks.

Stephen Hillenburg died on this day 4 years ago, aged 57. Hillenburg was a marine biologist who used a comic he created, called The Intertidal Zone, to educate his students. Among its characters was "Bob the Sponge": In 1987, Hillenburg left his job to pursue a career in animation- Hillenburg would direct many episodes of Rocko's Modern Life during its run from 1993 to 1996. After production on the show ended, Hillenburg pitched his own show to Nickelodeon- originally under the working title of Spongeboy Ahoy!, it got greenlit, and in 1999, premiered on the network as SpongeBob SquarePants. Hillenburg would occasionally provide voices, most notably as Potty, the puppet parrot of Patchy the Pirate, the president of the SpongeBob Fan Club (below). Hillenburg served as the showrunner from SpongeBob's inception until 2004, following the release of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (that was intended to be the series finale). Hillenburg would eventually return to the show in 2014, and worked on the story to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, released in 2015. In March of 2017, Hillenburg announced that he was diagnosed with ALS, and he died after a 20-month battle. SpongeBob's 20th anniversary special ("SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout") and the third SpongeBob movie (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run) were dedicated in his memory.

Interesting fact : in 1904, there was approximately 1 600 000 000 humans on earth and among them, only one survived, Lucille Randon. Wonder how many people born in 2022, there will be left in 2140 (if ever there is a year 2140)

Haven't seen a thread on here for this show, so considering the amount of "celebs" that take part thought i would put one together. Could also include hosts/presenters/professional dancers and guests of the show (notice they had Rod Stewart on the other week) Season 1 Jason Wood (dead) David Dickenson Verona Joseph Claire Sweeney Martin Offiah Lesley Garrett Christopher Parker Natasha Kaplinsky Season 2 Quentin Wilson Carol Vorderman Esther Rantzen Diarmuid Gavin Sarah Manners Roger Black Aled Jones Julien Clary Denise Lewis Jill Halfpenny Season 3 Siobhan Hayes Jaye Jacobs Gloria Hunniford Fiona Phillips Dennis Taylor Will Thorpe Bill Turnbull Patsy Plamer James Martin Zoe Ball Colin Jackson Darren Gough Season 4 Nicolas Owen Mica Paris Jimmy Tarbuck DJ Spoony Georgina Bouzova Jan Ravens Ray Fearon Peter schmeichel Claire King Carol Smilie Louisa Lytton Emma Bunton Matt Dawson Mark Ramprakash Season 5 Brian Capron Stephanie Beacham Willie Thorne Gabby Logan Dominic Littlewood Penny Lancaster-Stewart Kate Garraway John Barnes Kelly Brook Kenny Logan Lititia Dean Gethin Jones Matt Di Angelo Alesha Dixon Season 6 Phil Daniels Gillian Taylforth Gary Rhodes Jessie Wallace Don Warrington Mark Foster Andrew Castle Heather Small Jon Sargent Jodie Kidd Christine Bleakley Austin Healey Lisa Snowdon Rachel Stevens Tom Chambers Season 7 Martina Hingis Richard Dunwoody Rav Wilding Lynda Bellingham (dead) Joe Calzaghe Zoe Lucker Craig Kelly Phil Tufnell Jade Johnson Ricky Groves Natalie Cassidy Laila Rouass Ali Bastian Ricky Whittle Chris Hollins Season 8 Goldie Paul Daniels Peter Shilton Tina O'Brien Jimi Mistry Michelle Williams Felicity Kendal Patsy Kensit Ann Widdecombe Gavin Henson Scott Maslen Pamela Stephenson Matt Baker Kara Tointon Season 9 Edwina Curry Dan Lobb Rory Bremner Nancy Dell'olio Lulu Audley Harrison Russell Grant Anita Dobson Robbie Savage Alex Jones Holly Valance Jason Donovan Chelsee Healey Harry Judd Season 10 Johnny Ball Jerry Hall Sid Owen Colin Salmon Fern Britton Richard Arnold Victoria Pendleton Michael Vaughan Nicky Bryne Lisa Riley Dani Harmer Denise Van Outen Kimberley Walsh Louis Smith Season 11 Tony Jacklin Vanessa Feltz Julien Macdonald Deborah Meaden Rachel Riley Dave Myers Fiona Fullerton Ben Cohen Mark Benton Ashley Dawson Patrick Robinson Sophie Ellie Bextor Natalie Gumede Susanna Reid Abbey Clancey Season 12 Gregg Wallace Jennifer Gibney Tim Wonnacott Thom Evans Scott mills Alison Hammond Judy Murray Steve Backshall Sunetra Sarker Pixie Lott Jake Wood Mark Wright Simon Webbe Frankie Bridge Caroline Flack Season 13 Iwan Thomas Anthony Agogo Ainsley Harriot Anita Rani Carole Kirkwood Daniel O'Donnell Georgia May Foote Helen George Jamelia Jay McGuiness Jeremy Vine Katie Derham Kellie Bright Kirsty Gallagher Peter Andre

I'm at six points, got two right yesterday.

The one and only Tina Turner celebrates her 83rd birthday today. Birthday greetings to the iconic singer.

From all I've read, prostate cancer, leukemia (?), cirrhosis, acute anemia, "spinal problems" sounds like that was a suicide attempt. Here's a video of him from a day or two ago

Retired American actress and widow of Bing Crosby - Kathryn Crosby , celebrates her 89th birthday today. She went by the work and stage names of Kathryn Grant or Kathryn Grandstaff.

Apologies for the delay but I’ve just been thinking about this (I asked back in December about whether Welsh obit sources could be included as there are Scottish ones). I don’t know much about circulations so I’m not sure what papers to suggest if the Western Mail wouldn’t qualify. I wondered if S4C’s Newyddion website might be appropriate, seeing as it is similar to the BBC, ITV and C4 sources as the news website of a free-to-view major UK TV channel. S4C is the Welsh-language equivalent of Channel 4 and has major BBC involvement. I believe the content on the Newyddion website and the BBC News Welsh-language site (accessible from the main English-language BBC News page) is usually the same. Both sites are part of BBC News, one more obviously than the other. Then I realised neither would possibly qualify, even though BBC News does, because of the written English rule. That rule makes sense, and I imagine it’s a core rule of the entire DDP, but it does rule out a lot of possible Welsh celebrities who might obit in Welsh - and we are British, after all! I’m sure there’s lots of reasons why it wouldn’t make sense to make an exemption for Welsh but I thought I may as well be cheeky and broach the subject!

Pope Benedict XVI is a must-have returnee. "Big miss" is used too often here, but Benedict would genuinely be a big miss if he died off the list. I'd like to see Willie Nelson, Linda Nolan, Joanne Woodward, Yoko Ono and Barbara Walters back on as well. For newcomers, Rolf Harris is an obvious one if he somehow sees 2023, as well as Roberta Flack. Fay Weldon (now in a nursing home), James Earl Jones (91, diabetic, retired as voice of Vader this year), James Watson (has been in frail health since a car accident couple of years back) and King Constantine II (in declining health for some time) are others who are ill and famous enough for the front page. Martti Ahtisaari (Alzheimer's, survived two bouts of COVID, and hasn't been seen in public for over two years now) should qualify as well. This is a bit biased choice, but I think Patricia Routledge should make her debut next year. She is 94 next February and was in a wheelchair in some of the recent pics, plus she is very Deathlisty. She is still making public appearances, but so did June Whitfield and Geoffrey Palmer until shortly before their deaths!

In Ulaanbataar, Adolf Hitler and Cleopatra have welcomed their first child, Nigel. The godparents are Elvis and Denise van Outen. The link is in Mongolian so I didn't bother adding it.

So in life she had trouble with eating and drinking, but she died from trouble at breathing... Life's a bitch. regards, Hein

I don't give a shit what they did, their name is FURTWANGLER and for that, I love them.

I think I watched the same episode She was in her bikini in "Death to the Daleks" but I'm struggling to remember camel toe....

Good Evening/Afternoon/Morning, A quick googlecheck has told me what the keno is (a lottery of sorts?), and I must say it seems jolly exciting. Unfortunately, being a resident of the United Kingdom where we don't have such a competition, my information would be plucked purely from the ether, thus I'm afraid I can be of little help in the matter - however, I wish you all the fortune on earth, sir/madam. A tip for this weekend's 2,000 Guineas will be forthcoming after I've had a few words with my fellow on the inside, Knuckles McLaverty. Until then, au revoir, Armitage Shanks MBE
