Yes, on New Years Eve, that is, after the Deathrace deadline, an article about him made use of the word 'recovery': http://www.racer.com/north-american-racing/item/124867-american-racing-legend-adamowicz-fighting-brain-cancer Instead of days, he might well have weeks or months left. Probably not years though. Adamowicz is DI's (i.e. the current Deathrace leader's) joker, could be significant, eh? I like to think that for the Deathrace you basically only need 5-6 "locks". If they die within the first month, you've won. The other 14-15 picks can be gambles. So if one of your gambles turns out to be a dud, it's no biggie. But then I would have thought that Adamowicz would be a lock (didn't make him my joker by coincidnece), and that might be significant, because otherwise Death Impends would be the big favourite to win at this point, needing only Adamowicz and a second hit to win. Without him, DI, DDT and SC all still need three hits to win, with all the "walking corpses" already dead. And if Adamowicz is a dud, it reduces the potential of the teams who picked him by a 20th. So Sir Creep and me are similarly slighty disadvantaged. Hmm... I guess that makes DDT the statistical favorite at this point. Yeah, woops. Thought the early Dec update on him meant Adamowicz was fading away and would've only made 2016 by a nose if he made it. Though tbh I still think Bruce Langhorne and Monty Brinson (both of whom I'm the only one to pick in the Deathrace) are likely gone by the month's end, so I'd need another on top of that but my hopes aren't dashed quite yet. I assumed he would die in February. I remain unanimous in that. ​SC

BTW in case no one asked did you mean Baron Hutchinson or the Arkansas politician? One is 100, the other a far more interesting character. LOL ​SC

Former President of the Columbus (OH) College of Art and Design for 16 years, Denny Griffith, was diagnosed with bile cancer (​cholangiocarcinoma) back in February 2014. He lives on but this article makes saying that for the long term slightly futile. ​SC

This Dick Hunt has been going on for over 85 years now. It's time to end this Dick Hunt. ​(Olympic Speedskater, Olympic coach) SC

So if there HAD been a surprising death that would have been the 'biggest' death? SC

Dude, nowhere does it say the word 'legend'. Never heard of this cat. Don't embellish the dead. Do you consider this a write-up of a 'legend'? Five sentences? ​SC

Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!! She was a near last cut frok my team, aaarrrrggghhhh! RIP SC

Grand Rapids Griffon player Alden Hirschfeld collapses with seizure on bench. SC http://m.thn.com/blog/ahler-alden-hirschfeld-has-seizure-on-bench-in-stable-condition/

SC Edit deleted don't want to start an argument lol.

When the data has been extracted and TMIB has had time to do it. I figured it was among those lines. No rush, I just don't wanna miss anything.

This post/poll is actually a redundancy of an existing thread, but that requires you to make a list throughout the year as I did. Then you'd have your answer, towit 'none of the above'. None of my top three in fact made your poll. I'll stick with my opening retort. SCreep http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7363&p=247241

I meant to say 'that's a fine list but I may have put together one a bit different.SC I put Dean Smith on it! What else did you want? The other basketball coach guy whose name I can't remember?*still waiting for one vote for Al Molinaro to appear* I invite you to review one simple category, music. Review Dead Pop Stars, Piper at the Gates, Stairway to Heaven, etc. and come to the conclusion that the only persons of note were one named Sledge and two named King. Are you nuts? I'm talking Brits not Americans..... Oy vey!

So when is/does this drop 40 thingy begin or at least get posted?

I meant to say 'that's a fine list but I may have put together one a bit different.SC

South Carolina Sen. Billy O'Dell died of a heart attack Thursday at age 77. He represented parts of Abbeville, Anderson and Greenwood counties for 27 years in the state Legislature. A special election to replace O'Dell will be held May 17, with the primary on March 22. SC http://www.free-times.com/blogs/state-senator-odell-dies-as-does-former-usc-basketball-coach

What a stupid shite list.

Haha kismet in that I had Nanette Fabray in my first DP ever and haven't since. Not that she's a bad pick at all, mind; rather she reminds me of when I was clueless at this endeavor. Like Jerry Maren, it'll be a sad day when he dies and I've left him off my team. SC

If Smith and Feek die in the very near future and Smith obits I will be leading in every DP on this site. SC

We both nailed our first name with Harrington; next up for me is Feek. You have Rose Marie? You know some inside info?? SC

I've said time and again that only celebrities should count. I've also been told time and again that Lauren Hill was allowed. So I played my team accordingly. In fact I should have done more so. That said I maintain that Asif has no business in this game. THAT said, don't hate the player, hate the game. I'm all for a rule eliminating the Asif's of the world in the future, and all for collecting his points until then. SC

218 points how did that happen? Well done? SC

You need to put the date not 'this day' cuz if by this day you mean tomorrow it's still today here you fish-eyed fool.SC

Go Meet Your Dead Child -- famous folks what had a child predecease them.

Definitely a CEO in trouble. Valeant Pharmaceuticals has named former finance chief Howard Schiller as interim CEO while the troubled drug company's chairman and chief executive remains hospitalized with severe pneumonia. Valeant said Tuesday that J. Michael Pearson is still on medical leave, and it did not know when he would return.
