Steve Gohouri, footballer who played for Ivory Coast and various European teams (and the mighty Wigan Athletic) and who went missing in late December 2015, has been found dead at the age of 34. https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mopo.de%2Fsport%2Ffussball%2Ftraurige-gewissheit-ex-gladbach-profi-steve-gohouri---34--ist-tot-23251860&edit-text= Here's the BBC story on him going missing; http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35136237. Might get a BBC obit, dunno if anyone was brave enough to pick him.

Largely unnoticed? *sigh* See Star Wars Deaths and Rumours threads.

I've edited it down, bar my Personal List which hasn't been posted on the site. My Personal List was sent to msc as the Crowdsourced list submission. It's now less or much the same as Radguy or Chopped Liver and much shorter than Lewd Squirrel. Also, I doubt I'll be posting as much this year, so it shouldn't be a bind. Edit: Turn them into links? I can't even embed a video! Edit 2: The hell with it, I'll edit down the personal list too.

Lock the thread, it's a strike out with 8 folk confirming none of the above.

Yep.

Les Paul's son, Russ "Rusty" Les Paul Jr died on New Year's Eve 2015 aged 74. http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2016/01/les_paul_rusty_paul_jr_dead.html Perfect opportunity to tag this thread as dead too.

Jason Wingreen Obit in HR: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jason-wingreen-dead-all-family-851697 Will a Guardian one or other QO follow?

Podium finish! Go me!

Jason Wingreen's son confirms his death - still awaiting obit though. https://twitter.com/dialmformovies/status/682919291134476288

Not picked for 2015 DDP far as I can see. Other deadpools are available...

And for completeness, dead. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3381306/Natalie-Cole-Grammy-winning-singer-died.html See also: http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2389&p=246900 and http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8629&p=246905

First sigh of the year; http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2389&p=246900 *sigh*

Natalie Cole, daughter of Nat King Cole dies at 65, according to Jesse Jackson. https://twitter.com/RevJJackson/status/682957405655711748 Edit: and TMZ http://www.tmz.com/2016/01/01/natalie-cole-dead/ Our Love: https://youtu.be/vSabaPLKHsc

Isn't the age based on the age they will become in 2016? I.e. they are in their 100th year or whatever? I just assumed that was accepted.

Hello, hello?

The Pullein Thompson sisters are all dead.

I make it my list scored 210 points, with 21 out of 50 predicted personages.

The Pete Best of Monty Python? He was the chap who started off with what became the Python lot at uni, but swiftly decided academia was a better pursuit. They replaced him with a far more famous person: Gilliam perhaps? I'm not much of a Python buff. Think it was Graham Chapman who took his place. Buffery seems to have been in Twice A Fortnight, I've seen a clip of The Battle Of Hastings on YouTube but can't work out who he is, William The Conqueror's servant perhaps?

Rumour has it that 2015 DDP pick Sally Sweetland has died, but I can't find much except this. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0842342/board/thread/252136472 No doubt we'll have to see if this true and whether she did in fact pass away in 2015.

My friends and I are huge Marvel fans. We are all certain he's a goner this year. Nailed on cert, Committee, sad though that is to say.

Hmm, Jimmy Savile used to do that...

Kirk Douglas....will survive because I picked him here!
