Rosalynn's final moments "Jimmy Carter remains mentally aware and at times remarkably sharp, but he is physically weak, according to family and friends. He hopes to attend his wife’s funeral in Plains next Wednesday and a tribute earlier next week at the Carter Center in Atlanta, according to his family."

I agree with @RoverAndOut that May is likely. I'll be bold and say Thursday 2nd May - it keeps the measures in January and April fresh in the minds of voters and is before the bank holidays. Easter early in 2024 on Sunday 31st March, so wouldn't break up April as a month for campaigning.

Definitely going home to die.

Going home to die

Not that bold, I said the same thing a month ago!

Mexican politician Francisco Luna Kan, former Governor of Yucatán, dead at 97 following brief illness.

I sense that there will be at least 2 more deaths minimum on the official Deathlist. There are lots of likely candidates on there like Cleo Laine and Stanley Baxter who are hardly discussed but are likely to make news sooner than we think. I think the end of the year will be fruitful . Not neccesarily as late as New Year's Eve but Betty White style big. December will be a massive month in the DDP , with plenty of small, unpopular and unique picks taking the pool over its record death annual death total. So it will be more of a mix of the unusual or overlooked picks that help more than anything the last heave to break the record. My bowels say at least two more official hits this year at a minium. Lots of bangs ,in the last month or so of the year, indeed the year will end in a bang I sense and this will be quite fitting and apt as a build up to an utterly unique, busy, epic and legendary 2024. In future 2024 will be seen as a classic , brilliant, busy,phenomenonal year in deadpooling. It will be looked upon fondly and with reverence in the future. Lots of end of an era feel deaths in 2024 in both politics, showbusiness/ entertainment and acting especially. 2024 is not a year to be an elderly A Lister household name in movies and acting. I think @msc was very much right to highlight that years ending in 4 have often been very significant in famous deaths and deadpooling. My wisdom must have rubbed of on him!!

Leroy est mort, vive Leroy ! Emmanuel Leroy Ladurie, french historian and academician dead at 94. Finally a new hit for my french list ! Was one of my personnal favorite.

He has not been sent home to die. Apparently he has to cash his royalty cheques from Fairytale in person. Once he's done that, back to the hospital bed.

He has not been sent home to die. He's off oxygen and that's a damn good sign for someone like Shane. IMHO he just survived the ordeal this time.

Polish actress best known for her roles in 70s British horror films Ingrid Pitt died 13 years ago just 2 days after her 73rd birthday.

D..........ischarged from hospital

20 years alter maybe the Reaper has finally caught up with him ?

, in the appropriate thread, by the person you’re replying to.

If anything, it's the escape we all want. She didn't have it for that long at all. Compared to say Sybling Faulty having for a s long as I've been alive.

If they wanted similar types of people as 2023 here are some subs for those who've died this year. Joseph Estrada to replace Musharraf (non-English speaking world leaders) Richard M. Sherman to replace Bacharach (composers) John Williams to replace Sakamoto (composers) Douglas Hurd to replace Lawson (Thatcher ministers) James Earl Jones to replace Belafonte (black actors in their 90s) Stuart Hall to replace Harris (nonces) Phil Collins to replace Turner (musicians) Noam Chomsky to replace Kundera (writers) John Ashton to replace Bennett (musicians) Michael Aspel to replace Parkinson (presenters) David Attenborough to replace Barker (presenters) Rupert Murdoch to replace Al-Fayed (business tycoons) Denis Law to replace Charlton (footballers) Glenys Kinnock to replace R. Carter (political wives) Paul Dooley to replace Ackland (actors)

Martti Ahtisaari died over a week ago but I forgot to update this game. Oops. He was a diplomat and peace negotiator who helped in the independence of Namibia. He became the president of Finland in 1994 and supported Finland's entry to the EU, and he won the Nobel peace prize for his efforts to resolve international conflicts. He is a hit for 3 teams. @Hell reaches the 10 point mark while @Thatcher and @MariNisia share third place with 14 points each.

Nothing was reverted back. The editor merely changed "is" to "was". I've added her month/year of death, age at death, and estimated birth year based on age at death, as well an article from March that stated she was terminally ill with bowel cancer.

For the love of god can you please post the name of who’s dead rather than just posting dead for every single name? It’s really not that hard

Pat Arrowsmith straight to QO @msc: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/29/cnd-co-founder-pat-arrowsmith-dies-aged-93

John Sludden, player who signed for Celtic on the same day as Paul McStay and who had fairly successful tenures with Ayr United, Kilmarnock and East Fife in the mid-late 1980s, reportedly dead at 56: Edit: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7075536/celtic-st-johnstone-ayr-kilmarnock-john-sludden-scotland/

Leah Bracknell and Julie Gibson's deaths both being announced today have brought me to 11.
