Can we add Eddie Izzard to that list please?

The simplest of comedy:

Hedley Muscroft. who played in the Open Championship 16 times, with a best of eighteenth in the 1967 Open Championship, died last month. Won the first (of only two) Classic International tournaments in 1970 and played on the European Tour. He died last month - https://www.pga.info/news/hedley-muscroft-1938-2023/ Another former Open Championship competitor, Scotsman Stuart Murray (Best place 40th in 1964, 3 times a competitor), who enjoyed a successful amateur career in the early 1960's, died in January - https://www.pga.info/news/stuart-murray-1933-2023

Malika El-Aroud, one of "Europe's most prominent internet jihadists", probably complicit, along with her husband (who died in the suicide bombing) in the assassination of Afghan defence minister, Ahmad Shah Massoud in 2001, then married another terrorist, before eventually being jailed for jihadist propaganda, has died, aged 64. https://www.belganewsagency.eu/internet-jihadist-malika-el-aroud-dies-at-64 No loss.

Australian soccer World Cup player Sally Shipard diagnosed with a rare ovarian cancer: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11997839/Matildas-great-Sally-Shipard-starred-two-World-Cups-diagnosed-rare-cancer.html

But not Hull?

109 and still driving https://news.yahoo.com/man-109-still-drives-car-203838450.html

It's either: 1. He hasn't any inside knowledge, read the Radar Online usual bullshit and made his unnecessary post, which in turn will be used as a source for further Radar Online bullshit. 2. He barely has any inside knowledge but is the source for Radar Online bullshit. Either way I don't believe any of this bullshit.

The B&W photo wasn't FDR's last appearance, technically. His final portrait is particularly fascinating, because he died during it.

I thought he died years ago.

Edouard Balladur would be a great contender for the official list

Germaine Greer - Australian outspoken feminist. She will be 85 next year and she is in a care home. Link behind a paywall but she describes it as being an inmate.

A letter in today's Guardian pays tribute to the chess columnist Leonard Barden - he's not dead, and might be going anywhere for a while, but I was surprised to find he's in his 90s. He'll be 94 in August, and eminently obitable.

Harris got a BBC obituary (probably because of Toy Story) and Sheridan didn't, so I think it's fair to say she was the more high-profile of the pair. Unless you're a big fan of ALF.

I wouldn't know, the point being is that this is a death forum and not a place where mums complain about their badly raised children or sensitive nipples or whatever - although I'm sure many members here are happy to discuss their nipple sensitivity

The Apollo 8 crew can definitely be considered. Borman and Lovell are 95, there's been some rumors among my space enthusiasts circle that Borman has been in poor health for some time now. Meanwhile, Lovell has slowed down significantly in the last year and I don't recall him attending an event in a while now. Bill Anders seems to be the only member of the crew who's in decent health as far as I know, but he will turn 90 this year.

So Gary Glitter, Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall walk into a bar in Dublin and the bartender says: "Fuck sake, not Yewtree again!"

Tom Monaghan, the wealthy american businessman who founded Dominos Pizza, turns 85 today.

No.

Blues legend Muddy Waters died today in 1983 aged 70. Adolf Hitler, the Führer of Germany from 1934 to 1945, comitted suicide on this day in 1945.

George Formby died on this day in 1961. (Not soon enough many would say.) He fell off a ladder while cleaning a window. And Ayn Rand, philosopher and author of the provocative "Atlas Shrugged", and hero to "right-wing" libertarians, and also one of the most hated figures amongst certain left wingers who pretend to care about poor people but really just want to act out all their Stalinist 1984 fantasies on the entire population, died on March 6 1982.

Reverend Reginald Dean joins the super-centenarean ranks, national coverage guaranteed when he leaves them! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-20197070

I don't completely buy this Miser. What's Vicki going to say, that Ted's on his last legs? I've seen far too many of these stories to be taken in. I remember quite a few times hearing that a celebrity is "cancer free" only to have them die of it two weeks later. Ted's not going that soon but I wouldn't be selling him any life insurance.
