Since entering hospice, Jimmy Carter has outlived: *2 family members *2 chairpersons of The Carter Center *6 former Governors *16 "Immortals" *20 DeathList picks (16 hits; 4 misses) *265 DDP picks

And a partridge in a pair tree.

Zvi Zamir, former head of the Mossad who most notably dealt with the aftermath of the Yom Kippur war and helped carry out an assassination campaign after the Israeli sportsmen massacre in Munich, has passed away aged 98.

jeez, never heard of spoiler tags???

Should be noted that I'm still working on entering teams, so just because somebody has posted their teams does not mean everyone they submitted was accepted. Nobody has been notified of any specific disqualifications unless you had so many that you required more subs.

In very delicate condition and no improvement is expected.

I'm sure most of his offspring would disagree.....

The documentary is being released today. He doesn't appear in it in his current shape.

So, no more Santa in our house, had to tell OSP Jr yesterday, floods of tears that we had been lying to him all his life . Thankfully a lot better today even after he realised the same went for the elf, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Thank fuck I don't have to do the elf anymore!

Bad pick. Jimmy will outlive us all.

I'll probably snap if he doesn't die soon. Not that I have anything against the great man, but there are only so many posts and articles about his immortal status I can take. I mean, I just made two posts where I argued, for some reason, that a guy who presently looks like a zombie and would die if lightly touched doesn't have cancer. I'm sure he'd be elated to find out I have such a high opinion of his health.

And you know what's even crazier? Back in 2015 Jimmy Carter had metastatic melanoma which had spread to his brain and liver and nearly everyone including me thought he was a goner right then. He survived that, made a miraculous recovery and since managed to outlive countless more of what you've already mentioned as well as the Queen, one of his successors and even his own vice president. Total immortal.

My best mate worked for her as a horse groom about 20 years ago and has nothing but utter praise for her. Regal yes, but very down to earth behind the scenes and kind towards staff. The fact he smokes helped their relationship in the yard as well.

Basdeo Panday, the fifth Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago (1995-2001), has died aged 90. Mentioned previously in this thread by @arghton. This leaves two living former Prime Ministers: - Kamla Persad-Bissessar (sixth serving 2010-2015) - Keith Rowley (seventh and incumbent serving since 2015)

I intend to start the residual at some point this week, then. Good luck to all and thank you to Bibliogryphon for hosting the main game.

Congratulations, WEP.

Congratulations to @Banana a true Deathlist Legend!

"Mr. Carter was not suffering any particular ailment that prompted him to enter hospice care last February, according to people close to him, but was tired of being in and out of the hospital and wanted to spend his final days at home with Mrs. Carter." Yeah, I know there's some WaPo infobox that says he has cancer now, but given it's not in the article they link and the above NYT passage there's no way it's not just a mistake. If he was actually ill with cancer now he would have died months ago.

I found out yesterday that she is a talented artist and provided illustrations for the Danish publication of The Hobbit under a pseudonym

Oh I can explain that. Basically, he's more likely to die this year than last.

This is terrible news. Just after the DDP deadline…

Got to replace Kissinger with someone!
