Well I'm sorry, but I never liked Prince, and I won't be rushing out to buy his music now. He wrote a few brilliant songs, but they were much better performed by other people IMO. I didn't like his whiny voice and I found him so physically repulsive that his overtly sexual lyrics were nauseating. It never crossed my mind that I ought to find the musician attractive to enjoy a song that deals with sexuality.

I think he died of Zsa Zsa Gabor and her husband sucking his life energy away, the same cause of death of a myriad of celebrities this year.

Author Beverly Cleary is turning 100 in a couple weeks. She's not necessarily in failing health other than being ancient, but certainly one to consider if you are out of ideas come 2017.

I switched my vote from Billy Graham last time to Zsa Zsa this time, so expect Billy Graham to die next.

I would vote for Zsa Zsa, but since Frédéric is determined to make her the world's first actual Frankenstein's Monster, I'll go with Billy Graham again.

I thought she quit smoking when she got pregnant in the 90s and went on a healthy living kick. Right, that's why I said she was a smoker in the 80s. I believe that would still increase her risk of developing some kind of cancer, but my overall point is that she hasn't lived a life of risky behavior like so many other musicians.

Kate Bush would shock me both because I'm a fan and because she hasn't lived the typical rock star life. She was a smoker in the 80s, and she probably isn't getting enough exercise, but what else?

Well the Supreme Court is generally more bi-partisan or party neutral than other parts of the government. You're more likely to get a conservative leaning justice to side with a more liberal cause in a Supreme Court case because the justices are supposed to just interpret the law rather than stand up for their party or special interests. The tricky part is just finding justices who have that kind of integrity, I suppose...

If Charlie Sheen continues seeing this doctor for treatment, stick him on the 2017 list: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3425607/I-ve-cured-countries-Doctor-injected-Charlie-Sheen-s-HIV-positive-blood-makes-astonishing-claims-goat-s-milk-treatment.html

RIP to one of my favorite artists. This is probably the saddest I've been about a celebrity death ever. I suppose it wasn't his style to make an appearance on the Deathlist. While everyone else battling cancer has a publicity circus surrounding it, Bowie instead released an album to herald his passing.

How would they know who's posting here?

Whether you like Halibuts or not, excluding people from the USA because of their religion is clearly unconstitutional. There isn't a whole lot else to say on that topic. If you let Trump have his way on that issue, you're opening a pretty big can of worms. Maybe they'd come for athiests next.

If we want a steady stream of haters in here, there can be a rule that one of the picks has to be at the peak of their fame. Taylor Swift comes to mind for next year.

George Wendt (b. 1948) - You know what, you may have something here. Does this guy have a thread? He's always looked unhealthy, and he looks just awful now. In 2012 he withdrew from a show he was cast in because he was hospitalized with chest pains.

No you wouldn't!!! She's not only ugly and old, she's DEAD you sicko!!! You just listed the three attributes of the only women that give me any attention. Sir C Well, I would imagine that they could be either or old and ugly OR dead. Surely a beautiful dead girl wouldn't refuse you.

I thought this guy's death was somewhat ironic: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/disability-sport/31943533 Ashley Adams, who became a paraplegic from a motorbike accident as a young man, eventually died riding a quad bike. I mean you just don't expect that a guy who gets paralyzed in a biking accident would find a way to finish the deed in the same manner.

Moan, moan, fucking moan!Shut the fuck up! Moan, moan, fucking moan!Shut the fuck up! I'm, that's kinda the point of this foru you stupid fucking guest. Get a clue. SC Actually the point is "irate visitors" if you've registered on the site, you're not exactly a visitor. Even my children don't bitch and whine as much as you do. I guess we need a thread for irate members to bitch now.

I didn't realize Billy Graham would be such a popular choice, but it was also mine. I suppose it's easy to root for him because he surely thinks every one of us is going to hell.

He has his own thread, so there's no need to mention him here. I still think it's a pity that this thread isn't inclusive. It should be a useful reference tool, but as things stand, it isn't. It's a discussion thread; not meant to be a reference tool. There are better reference tools if you want to just see who's died each year. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_in_2015 Well, that's me told. Wiki? Hahahahahahahahahahaha. It was meant as a joke, no doubt. Just thought it was a funny notion that this site would be a tool for someone researching who's died. Certainly won't see me browsing Wikipedia for this stuff. Much prefer the off-color banter here.

Yeah, this really does bring up fuck all squared on a search. Although, an Eva England was born in 1909 as referenced in this book, but she doesn't seem to be either a) nobility or anything approaching notable. Aye, well, she'll doubtless get some local coverage in the UK, wherever she lives, on the basis of her age if nowt else. So, let's be clear, if she goes in 2016, she'd be Deathrace fodder, feel free to pick her. I thought anyone who was only notable for being old was off limits.
