7 pointsTbh I get the feeling this is true (even though they’re largely clickbait they do actually get legitimate info from time to time, and this isn’t just some sad last days post). That said, dementia hospice patients can last a long while…

4 pointsAgreed. And at a certain stage of Alzheimer's it's no difference entering hospice care officially or not.

4 pointsWas released without charge. Maybe I'm cynical, but I find it VERY INTERESTING that such a spectacle was made of his arrest. On ITV News it was juxtaposed with Trump's arrest, which has created its own media frenzy, but it's Trump and all publicity is good publicity for him. Sturgeon's husband – arguably not on the same level. You'd have thought there was a body in their garden judging by the forensic tent and police presence. And they had overhead shots. Shades of Cliff Richard. Was amused to learn that I've unknowingly jogged past their house before.

3 pointsBuzz Aldrin is 93 and never been on The Death List. Clint Eastwood is 92 and never been on The Death List Of course they are still alive so provided they make next year that's great work by the Committee.

3 pointsDo you think the news will be relayed by other more credible sources ? As far as I can see there is just this article and several unreliable others info sites stating that she is on her deathbed and that her family is by her side, but I won't believe it 100% until something like BBC or TMZ breaks the news. Also, between her (if this is real), Carter and Berlusconi, an interesting month of march april (edit : damn, we're already in april) is ahead of us.

3 pointsI should point out that Norman Reynolds was last picked for the DDP in 2022 for @Death Impends: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2022/celebs_R.html#reynon Having been consistently picked for the past few years, I'm surprised he was dropped this year.

3 pointsKing Richard I "The Lionheart" died on this day 824 years ago, aged 41. - In the 1170s, Richard led his own battalion to end rebellions against his father (King Henry II) in British France. - Richard became the heir to the throne in 1183 when his older brother Henry the Young King died. - During his early reign, a mass wave of anti-Semitic riots broke out between the Christian and Jewish population in London. Richard noted that these riots could destabilize his kingdom, and so he decreed that the Jews be left alone- this was, sadly, largely ignored. - Richard left for the Third Crusade in 1190, leaving his younger brother John in charge. He sailed around the Iberian peninsula and making a pitstop in Sicily. He would then conquer Cyprus (taking it from the Byzantine Empire and selling it to the Knights Templar), and marry his consort Berengaria of Navarre there. - He reached Acre (in modern-day Israel) in June of 1191, and would execute over 2700 prisoners of war (a major war crime by today's standards). In September of 1192, he and the sultan, Saladin, signed a treaty allowing Christian pilgrims to come to Jerusalem, and he left the following month. - Richard's ship wrecked along the northeast Italian coast, forcing him to travel by land. He was captured by Leopold V of Austria, who had accused him of arranging the murder of his cousin Conrad of Montferrat, and was imprisoned until early 1194. - Richard went to British France in March of 1199 to put down another rebellion, and he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow. He died 11 days after it became infected, in the arms of his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine. - Richard's heart was removed from his body- and it still exists; it was embalmed with frankincense among other substances in a 2012 study. - Richard had an illegitimate son, Philip of Cognac, who was given the epithet "The Bastard" in Shakespeare's play King John.

3 pointsBelmondo, Depardieu and Gabin would come close but no cigar. Delon is Delon- Le Samouraï, France’s no. 1 symbol of French Cinema. The male Brigitte Bardot and Bardot is France’s most famous actress of all time. I can see Delon going at 88 or 89 at most. Bardot I think will go around 92 or 93, she has always been quite active. I am very surprised Moreau lived to 89, she never looked a picture of health in the 50s and 60s. Without knowing, I would have guessed she died in 2004.

New Zealand born British investigative journalist and television broadcaster Roger Cook, who was infamous at his career peak for exposing an assortment of rogues, criminals and scandals on his tv show Roger Cook investigates, celebrates his 80th birthday today.

3 pointsAlthough he has been on previous lists, I was surprised when the DL committee dropped Pope Benedict from the 2022 list (especially when they decided to keep on Prunella and not him)

2 pointsJust been reading up about him. Is he there to show that the Republican party does not have a monopoly on nut jobs?
