Neale Fraser QO: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-14151703/Australias-Davis-Cup-icon-Fraser-dies-91.html Edit: Hit #300. Yay...or summat. Also: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/articles/cr4rx09y3qwo

Monica Phelps nee Monica Rutherford, GB artistic gymnast at the 1964 Games, reportedly dead: Unless he has died off radar, Brian Phelps (her husband) has outlived her. Mentioned here.

Terry Griffiths last picked in 2023 @Death Impends, so List of the Missed: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2023/celebs_G.html#grifft

Various twitter reports that Terry Griffiths has died. I'll try and get links in due course.

Suppose I'd better start researching. While my 1989 TOTP theme team already has 13 possibles from a cursory glance, I'll still need 7 to make a team. The other two teams - punt those.

The opposite of Dying Off The Radar? Annie Leake, who many had presumed died in 2006 and was one of the stars of Beryl's Lot, now reportedly dead aged 96: Love Thy Neighbour and Only Fools And Horses among her other credits.

Do not despair. Time for some music as we head into the last leg. Carry your teams with pride and your hopes may be rewarded. Good luck all!

Hoops-A-Daisy! Basketball college coach and Hall of Famer Lou Carnesecca is a slam dunk for LadyFiona. I think that's all can be said about this pick. However, it's looking increasingly unlikely they can be caught. This hit means they are about 4 hits ahead of their nearest rival. However, we have seen Decembers of Death in the past, so no giving up hope in this last stretch. No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

John Glenister reportedly dead aged 92: Father of Robert and Philip Glenister. Z Cars director.

Thanks! 10 added points. Leaderboard updated.

Well, it's a bit annoying really. You have a Black Joker played so it must be a black card. You are a couple of cards away from gaining a straight. But you have all the black 8s in your team, so a black 9 would place you one card away. Depends how you feel about taking a chance that one of your 8s might die. Alternatively, a 10 Clubs, 6 Clubs or 7 Spades would all give you a pair for 10 points. You have more chance with the 6 of making four of a kind if December is lucky for you, less so with a 7 or a 10. It all depends on further hits I am afraid. Any way you roll, you are needing further cards. So, take the 10 points now, or take a chance? Your call. Let me know.

Jeremy Seabrook, shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for The Refuge And The Fortress: Britain And The Flight From Tyranny, reportedly dead:

Swirling kilts and whirling bagpipes, it's St Andrews Day! Before our players settle down to enjoy haggis, neeps and tatties, I suppose it's time to spin the Roulette wheel and see where the cards fall! Updated leaderboard will follow shortly. Timestamp: 2024-11-30 12:17:20 UTC

Billy Connolly.

Roulette will be played later when I surface from my slumbers. Happy St Andrews Day all!

Less than 20 odd hours left to cash in your Jokers @Perhaps and @JoeMoneypenny. Use it or lose it.

Hmm. Keeping the Yahoo! obits then? Asking for a colleague.

She's up on her feet speaking on the Assisted Dying Bill. So...capable.

It's 29 November once again. Happy Happy birthday to the Deathlist! Older than many current members, younger than some!
