I think we have to give the committee praise for continuing to run this game year on year.It is a staple of mine and I'm sure everyone on here's new years eve rituals.I find it almost comforting that whatever year I have had I can always count down the New Year then check the newest deathlist.

Jimmy Carter is pretty tough. Should we include him just in case he comes back?

He'll never know.

Happy New Year!

Almost every year without fail. Someone pops there clogs in the last few days that ruins a good few lists

Miquel Morera dead at 104, only Juan Mariné still alive...

If there was a 3 hour documentary about the origins of the Deathlist and the committee from 1986 to the present day I would pay good money to see it.

This presumes no new blood. I hope they have recruited some younger members so that it will continue once their time has come.

Not sending in a team, i didn't have time to do my research But insane respect to Book for keeping it going so long and this already being the 10th edition of the game When this started i would have never imagined this would have lasted this long

Jimmy Cart... Never mind.

Welcome to the D-A-CH-Deathlist 2025, our fifth in total! So we have an anniversary to celebrate and hope that next year we will be given a record-breaking D-A-CH-Deathlist as a gift! We should actually rename our list to D-A-CH-L-Deathlist, because we have a premiere with our first candidate from Liechtenstein. However, since the term "D-A-CH" is recognized and used here in the forum, we would like to leave it at that and not overuse it. But we have still included a small homage to Liechtenstein. This year the „we“ means: Filenos, gcreptile, Neol Edmunds, Prophet, TomTomTelekom, WEP and Book. Ich wünsche unsere Liste viel Erfolg!

Why no Jimmy Carter on the list? Are they crazy?

I can imagine Isabel Peron giving you the finger as we speak.

Sir Peter Graham, Lieutenant General in the British Army who served as General Officer Commanding Scotland and also the Governor of Edinburgh Castle (1991-1993), reportedly dead aged 87.

Instead of doing 26 for ‘26, here are just 10 names that deserve consideration: Chris Hoy (50): Terminal cancer. Pretty much a lock for the 2026 DL. Ozzy Osbourne (78): the last living individual from the 1987 list. I wouldn’t object to him being the next Clive Dunn. June Lockhart (101): If Eva Marie Saint is a hit in 2025, June Lockhart would be the perfect centenarian actress to fill her shoes. Brian Wilson (84): Former addict, current widower with dementia. God only knows how much time he has left. David Lynch (80): Seems more like a 2026 death than a 2025 one. Linda Ronstadt (80): Living with PSP for an unreasonably long time. James Watson (98): Longtime forum favourite, has looked frail for decades. Michael Caine (93): Near the top of the A-list. Talk of retirement a few years ago. Rex Williams (93): A boomerang hit waiting to happen Sam Nujoma (97): In declining health

Can any admin confirm how many of the committee are on this site?
