Keith Harding (wiki), former Tory MSP, died on 15 November 2021, aged 82. Just updated his Wiki, which still had him listed as living. A few notes on him – former leader of Stirling Council (1991–1995), very well liked across the political divide (e.g. he was the only Tory to be invited to former First Minister Jack McConnell's 40th birthday bash), defected to the neoliberal "New Party" in 2003 with MSP colleague Lyndsay McIntosh. Later retired to Brittany from 2004, where he was active before dying from a sudden illness. Received obits from The Scotsman and The Courier, but it was never spotted/reported on DL Forums for some reason.

Because he’s a troll.

Louise Brunson dead at 91.

F. Murray Abraham is 84.

I picked him, which seems to be a guarantee of a job for life!

I've been here a while. The DDP rule here has been in force all that time, and yet nobody has bitched about it until now. And that was before the "wide open" Yahoo QOs were accepted. A passing reference, a caption on a photo, all these things count provided they are from a qualifying source and they reference the death. True, they are not obits - but the rules that everyone signs up to are clear from the outset. Some may not like them, but they agree to the rules when they submit a team. If you still can't get an obit, either you are incredibly unlucky or you have picked an obscure celeb so bloody obscure to the great unwashed British public that even the numerous sources aren't interested in covering them.

I remember Dustin Gee's death really well. A girl in my class at school had some sort of connection to the panto he was starring in at the time (think she may have been a dancer in it) which made it seem more real somehow. I also remember his last series with Les Dennis being shown posthumously which I found strangely fascinating.

Has there ever been a more hopeful sight than this?

Ben Garner of Colchester the latest sacking.Somehow Ainsworth of Qpr outlasts another manager he is becoming the Jimmy Carter of football management

Rumours are that Ruth Langsford's mother is in a wrinkly and crinkly state.

With the passing of Bobby Charlton and Geoff Hurst being the last 66' Survivor it got me thinking who is the next great footballer from the Englan team who would generate the same level of coverage. George Best might have been but he has gone already. The only name I really think of from my childhood is Kevin Keegan

I refused to pick Bobby Charlton here. But did you?

"Right, so we need to make ourselves more popular...what would Liz Truss do?"

Noddy for Deathlist 2019!

What a pity he missed the party.

To be fair, she might be telling the truth. I mean, those eyebrows would send anyone into hospital a bajillion times.

If I had a nickel for every famous John Kennedy killed in a car at the age of 46 I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
