Maybe ol' Stevie'll follow Thatcher's and Mandela's path.
Margie died about a year after the premiere of "The Iron Lady".
Nelson died about a few months after the premiere of "Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom".

We shouldn't worry, really. Deathlist 2003 had 14 hits, but the first wasn't until March.
*Edit* Oops, I just realized that somebody else already mentioned this. Therefore, this comment is useless. Dang it.
-
Now that I think about it, it's probably going to be somebody unexpected like João Havelange.
I'm figuring in about 8 more posts you will have named the entire list and be able to say 'I told you so'

Shh! You'll ruin my secret plan!

Hey, if it wasn't for us, nobody would comment on this thread until this guy dies.
But if we're right, that wouldn't be such a long wait.
-
Oh, also. Justin Bieber will die at 27, if he's lucky enough not to go earlier.
-
I have a weird feeling that he'll be the first hit of the year.
On the other hand, I always have weird feelings.

Oops.
I was just basing my opinion off of the massacres that you hear about on the news (most of the ones on the list weren't reported, or at least, I didn't see them reported). Oh, and also, Afghanistan has a bad reputation.
Huh... I guess the Taliban stick to bombs on buses.
Sorry for all the commotion I caused.
-
How could the USA be #1? It'll obviously happen Afghanistan. The only reason you hear more about school massacres in the USA is because there, they are a rarity, while terrorist attacks are common in Afghanistan.
Okay, maybe not a rarity, but it's not like they're an everyday thing. "Only" a couple of times a year.
That's still a LOT more then any other country...
Sure, but Afghanistan has much more terrorists.

Actually, the year with possibly no list was 1988.2nd June 1987 to 23rd January 1989 (if you accept the recent theory, put forward by one of the committee, that there wasn't actually an 1988 Deathlist) and 18th May 1990 to 23rd March 1992 are the longest periods without a hit.
But Davey, I remind you - what year holds the Deathlist record? 2003. And there was no hits back then until March!
Bizarre interpreation of the record. We've got a long way to go before we beat any records..
This how I see it...
The record depends on how you phrase it:
Longest time without a hit within the year would go to 1991 and 1989 shared
Longest time until the first hit would go to 1987
Either way we've a long wait to break either record and declare an absolute drought. Judging by the records below the end of march could be classed as a significant drought as it would beat all bar 2 active and 1 dead year in the Deathlist history. Anyway which way no need to head to panic stations for another month or so.
----First hit of the year-----
1991 - No hits whatsoever
1989 - No hits whatsoever - potentially no list.
1987 - 2nd Jun
1992 - 23rd March
2004 - 20th March
2007 - 7th March
2003 - 5th March

BTW, you forgot to cross out Ethel Lang from your shadow list.

Pele has been in pretty bad shape recently. I reckon he might pop his clogs soon.
-
It's not that long really. Back in the 20th century most Deathlists had like 5 hits. I'm sure we'll get at least 10 this year.

Misao Okawa is officially the 5th oldest person in history!
-
Oh, also. There's this new artist Bea Miller who is only 16 but I have a feeling she'll become a drug addict and die at 27.
Just remember: If it does happen, I called it 11 years before!

According to the National Enquirer, MTM has said "I'm ready, just let me die".
I couldn't click on the article, because I live in Yoorup, but I read the header.
Not like I believe the Enquirer anyway.
-
I have a feeling that Misao Okawa will be keeping her title of "Oldest Living Person" for a while, she's had it since 2013! That's the longest since Maria Capovilla, in 2004-2006.
BTW, Misao's 117th birthday is on March 5th and on February 15th she is going to beat Maria Capovilla as the 5th oldest person ever.

Well, Rihanna is turning 27 in about two weeks and I think it could be her last birthday. But then again, I thought the same about Lady Gaga (who's almost 29 now, and still alive. Well, kind of) and about Kesha (who only has a few weeks until she turns 28) so I'm not good at predicting these things.
What do you think?

Doctors are "running out of tricks" to cure Francis Cardinal George's cancer. http://abc7chicago.com/religion/cardinal-george-doctors-run-out-of-tricks-in-treating-his-cancer/498200/

Looks like he might not die soon after all
He's trying to keep active, but it's evident that he is in failing health
So is Zsa Zsa gabor... That reminds me Happy 98th next week ZZ !
Zsa Zsa has been confined to her bed for the past few years. So unless she's got a stack of crossword and wordsearch books by her bed, I don't know how she's keeping active.
Problem is, she's blind/deaf/mute/paralyzed/almost unconscious/etc. so she can't do crosswords and wordsearch.

I have been using "Rad___" as a username since I was 10.
I thought it was cool back then, but now I only use it because... IDK. So I'm recognizable on the web?
-
Only a couple of days left, but I still think we'll get a hit...
-
I guess I'm the only one in the 0-16 category.

Angela Lansbury.
Also, "Maude" star Bill Macy. But that was 2 months ago, so I luckily got the chance to put him on my personal DL.
