They consider all the paws-sibilities...

Obit for James B Downey, who appeared as Sam Phillips in Kate And Allie: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/ctpost/name/james-downey-obituary?id=37532256 This does not appear to be the Saturday Night Live writer, though IMDB has him listed as he and as dead. Wiki has a different guy with a different middle name and probably correctly has that guy alive.

Missiles from Russia entered Poland and killed 2, according to AP.

You know, a man of your talents could possibly take over that DDP job from GUN...

Living in a medieval castle seems to suit him...

IIRC, Excel is involved. Which is computer poison to me - a numbers program used for text? Insanity.

Love a list, however I believe I'm unlikely to be technically enough qualified to upload stuff. That and my laptop may be an issue, Chrome has decided to stop working and for some reason I can't uninstall it or install a new version of it. Are we about to pronounce the death of the DDP itself?

Very possible @Death Impends, ta. Ah the times we live in when YouTube is seen as a reliable source of news....

Anywhere else reporting the death of Loretta Swit? Anthony Parsons on Twitter: "Sad to find out Loretta Swit has died. Much as I loved her as an actress, I admired her even more as a person. Saw her across the room at The Hollywood Show in 2016 but too intimidated to approach her. She looked great! Not carpe diem-ing that moment is one of my biggest regrets." / Twitter Hoax maybe? Or prescient Muskbit?

Widely being reported Superstar Krishna has died.

I'd just love the irony of him being out and about and being killed by a cyclist.

Still, hoping that @Bibliogryphon includes a rule that anyone dead before the start doesn't count and will be replaced by a sub if discovered at any time for the duration of the game. No already dead dead pools please (the main failing of Deathrace imo).

Hmph, should have just opened the topic when I disclosed the story, morning glory.

Also, she's been falling about since 2016. So I'm guessing that although the announcement is recent, this has been undiagnosed for quite a while.

Nah, I'd rather lose on subjects I care about, rather than picking and saving the lives of people I don't!!!

Well done @RoverAndOut! Now come along, some nice categories I know something about would be excellent.

THANK GOD!!!!!!!

John Aniston is a DDP pick @gcreptile though.

Cowboy Ronnie quote: "Interestingly, Jennifer Aniston's father John Aniston, has played evil Victor Kiriakis for many years on US soap Days of Our Lives, so he'd be familiar with how to commit exciting, exotic deaths. According to wiki he was once an intelligence officer in the US Navy, so he'd know how to handle a weapon. Right age (born in 1933, making him 45 in 1978 when Markov got brolleyed). Plus Aniston was originally Greek, and they probably have something against the Bulgarians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Aniston" John Aniston died last Friday.

Roger Nott reportedly died 13th October: Doctor Who Cast and Crew on Twitter: "RIP Roger Nott (1943-2022), who passed away on October 13th, aged 78.
