https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7840847/Julian-Assange-told-journalist-friend-health-worsening-slurred-phone-call-prison.html Julian Assange tells a journalist friend that he is slowly dying amid rumours his health is drastically worsening.

A very wise and worthy pick for the deathlist. She has been ill a very long time and is 100% iconic enough in Hollywood history to make her deathlisty worthiness beyond question.

Pope Francis apparently lashed out as a member of the public broke security protocol by grabbing his arm at a Nativity scene in St Peter's Square today.

I really hope she outlasts Trumps presidency so in that regard I hope this turns out to be a bad pick for the committee!

Its certainly been very quite on her website in recent times. I think it is right to retain her on the list until she passes.In that sense she is the new Zsa Zsa Gabor although I don't believe for a minute she will break her record!

I must confess I'd never heard of this person until I saw them mentioned on this forum in the past 2-3 weeks. Now having read up on them they certainly seem like a decent but quirky pick.

A little too tipsy to give a detailed analysis but some initial scattergun random type thoughts. I am surprised that Pope Benedict and Jill Gascoigne did not return. I suspect the committee may come to regret that along with the dropping of Jimmy Greaves. Nevertheless I think this year will top last year but will be overshadowed by the fact it could have been even more successful if some of the drops and non returns had been a bit different. Keeping Bob Barker, Nobby Stiles and Honor Blackman are good decisions. Some more creative brave unusual picks here like Genesis Porridge and I'm surprised but pleased to see Imelda Marcos make the list.

American singer Patti Page , born in 1927 died on this day in 2013 aged 85.One of her most well known songs is "How much is that doggie in the window?'

Delighted to see a name I've long championed Rhonda Fleming has made it onto the list.....just!
