Zsa Zsa without a doubt

He was diagnosed with cancer a year or two ago. Although not immediately fatal, definitely one to keep an eye on, given his age.

We should definitely keep TotalBiscuit under our radar. His cancer is slow enough that he should get through 2016 without difficulty, but surviving 2017 is far from certain.

I strongly doubt Sam Simon will be #1 for 2016...

A person insults his dog, gets arrested, dog dies 2 weeks later. Insult Bhumibol himself, get arrested... see where this is going? Of course, 2 weeks after I enter Thailand, the king will be dead.

I predict that Helmut Schmidt and Al Molinaro will be on it.

IM Rimma Bilunova dies at 75, was still playing blitz 1-2 months ago: http://ruchess.ru/news/all/ushla_iz_zhizni_rimma_ivanovna_bilunova/

If this is "so depressing", then how would you describe 2000 and 2002?

The edit was reverted because there was no source given that Brooke McCarter died. His death was announced on fb, which iHorror used in its obituary: http://ihorror.com/rest-in-peace-the-lost-boys-star-brooke-mccarter/ UPDATE: Just as I was typing, his entry was placed back on the recent deaths page, using the iHorror source.

Alright I'm in. 1. Joey Feek (Joker) 2. Bhumibol Adulyadej 3. Rene Angelil Died January 14, 2016 4. Glen Campbell 5. Martin Crowe 6. Thor Hansen 7. John Jay Hooker Died January 24, 2016 8.

Lupita Tovar 18. Pat Harrington Jr. Died January 6, 2016 19. Zsa Zsa Gabor 20. Joao Havelange Subs: 1. Kirk Douglas 2. Barys Kit 3. Daisy Berkowitz

I think he would still be a fairly decent candidate. He is beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt UK-obitable and as said before his family has a history of cancer, so there is a reasonable chance that his cancer will come back and kill him within a year. I wouldn't be surprised if he were among the top 10 in the Drop Forty.

You're welcome Can you guess where this guest idiot found this list?

Hi, I am planning to join the DDP for the first time in 2016, and I have a few questions. Is joining the game as simple as emailing the list of celebrities and the team name to the host? Can I create and lead a team with just one person? Can I create more than one team? Is it a good idea to send the list just minutes before midnight GMT on December 31, to add celebrities in critical condition? I already have a preliminary list of celebrities for DDP, but will probably replace a couple. What happens if, when a celebrity on my list dies, it is already January 1 in his/her time zone, but still December 31 GMT? Can I choose a person who is mainly famous for being likely to die, but whose death will likely be announced on UK national news? Thanks in advance.

Singer Ray Price died on December 16, 2013. Exactly two years later, motorcycle racer Ray Price died. Actor Dickie Moore died on September 7 this year. Today, hockey player Dickie Moore died. I guess Rev and Superstar Billy Graham are next.

Greville Janner dead at 87: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-35142675

Well crap, you beat me to it. How many hours do you spend on deathlist daily?
