Whoops, didn't even notice HuffPost was different. That's what comes of listening to the Partick Thistle match while trying to post! Well, I tried, don't give up hope, the Independent seems to catch up with these things gradually, I'd pay attention there over the next wee while.

Olympic Gold Medallist for Bulgaria in weightlifting, Milen Dobrev, found dead at 35. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/weightlifting/31999134

Well, that's my second pseudo-hit this year for my theme team, a unique pick no less. I'm afraid no DDP approved obit will come, considering what happened to Ruska. Does this little story on Wim Ruska not count for DDP? http://news.yahoo.com/olympic-judo-champion-wim-ruska-dies-74-120224268.html There's also this from Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20150216/oly--obit-ruska/

Gerald Lee Warren, Nixon's deputy press secretary and recipient of enemies memo, dies at 84. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2015/mar/20/jerry-warren-obituary/

she's not verified so she doesn't count. Please only report the deaths of VERIFIED oldest people from now on. Thank you Does this topic require certification, or is that only for Guests?

That's actually a VERY juicy tidbit. My 'Coincidental Deaths' database has a couple actor-director pairings, the most recent of which I believe was Richard Widmark/Jules Dassin ("Night in the City") back about 5 years ago. Synchronicities like that may be working right here right now. I'll be looking for ODH's death notice before Easter, and hit #3 for DL.SirC Who knows, he might drag Angela Lansbury into the mix. Although I still say it's too soon for her. Edit: Grauman also directed 633 Squadron. The planes involved? de Havilland Mosquitos. Coincidence?

Walter E. Grauman, prolific TV and film director, responsible for Barnaby Jones, Murder She Wrote, etc etc but also directed Deathlist favourite Olivia De Havilland in Lady In A Cage, dies at 93. http://variety.com/2015/tv/people-news/director-walter-grauman-dies-at-93-1201457322/

Spanish papers reporting death of Leandra Lumbreras at 127, waiting for a UK obit though.

I've done a search here and online and can't find anything regarding Valerie Lush, born Christmas Day 1918. She was Auntie Flo in And Mother Makes Three/Five. Anyone know if she's still with us?

One of those pesky Tory MPs who keep doing wrong and get away with it, Jerry Wiggin dies. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11483368/Sir-Jerry-Wiggin-Tory-MP-obituary.html

Never thought much of the political argument as regards voting, though there is obviously history of acts doing their best against a backdrop of politics (go and watch Belle and the Devotions being roundly booed for Love Games at that particular final). I am excited at how good the contest has been over the last few years and I still view it as a great outlet for acts and songwriters who don't really get a chance. Some of the allegedly "smaller" countries have excellent songs this year (look at Cyprus and San Marino, for example) and Italy have thrown the kitchen sink with a big act and a big song. The hosts Austria could make it back to back wins this year. Possibly more non contenders this year than in recent times though.
