Dan Bongino (2024 hopeful) has nodules on his lung. Not going to comment on his politics or anything but to be honest I'm not sure he will even make it that far...

My pick Jorge Neto has died: https://www.time24.news/A/2020/02/cape-verdean-singer-jorge-neto-died-today-in-lisbon-news.html

French MP Francois Andre is my first solo.

Well, John Andretti is the 3rd hit for my B Team. Will my main team ever catch up? Time will tell...

What the actual fuck? Did I wake up in an alternate dimension?

Joseph Hannesschlager a hit for me. Also it seems that my score is too high (I had 2 hits before Hanneschlager).

Thanks for all of the great work!

First hit for my DDP until Samantha Last gets her QO.

A bit late, but I would be interested. My username is Cancerous Hatred.

He seems to have been one of the few "good" leaders in a region full of despots and extremists. According to the BBC he brought the people to prosperity; a very interesting personality indeed. I personally left him off my lists because I wasn't totally buying what the media was saying about his health.

From my perspective FFBI is a bit of a misnomer as it's really "notable for being ill". If it is truly fame we are talking about then one could make an argument that Yoo Sang-chul could be considered FFBI. (When was the last time you've heard his name mentioned in an actual conversation?) For the latter standard I think that in general an individual who, without their illness, could plausibly have a Wikipedia page would automatically disqualify them from the label. This includes people like the Bangladesh MP that was chosen on Deathrace, as well as the vast majority of hits by the top players in DDP 2019. On the other hand there is a gray area. Was Kate Granger FFBI? What about a school principal who has cancer? What about the elected mayor of a town of 1,000 people? Personally I'd say no, yes, and no respectively, but all good questions to ponder.

Tom Long a hit for many of us here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7852163/Popular-Australian-actor-Tom-Long-50-dies-long-battle-terminal-blood-cancer.html

117 years, 3 days

I'm in.

DDP: Henry Gray: Past 90 and only worth 5 points, or 8 if he is drop 40, but not confident he is. Alcee Hastings: Still plans to run for re-election in November 2020. Criscilla Crossland Anderson: Cancer is stage 4 but as far as I know doesn't seem to have affected her vital organs. Sinisa Mihajlovic: Even if the leukemia is acute myeloid at his age it's probably around 50/50-ish Derek Aucoin: Cut on obit concerns but he's probably a goner this year Ed Genson: Has been struggling with his cancer for some time, so I'm not sure exactly which year will be his. Pilar de Borbon: Colon cancer but of unclear severity. Arne Sorenson, Radojko Avramovic: Both cut because their cancer is only stage 2, though wouldn't be surprised if they drop this year.

His prostate cancer is stage 4 but as is announced publicly only seems to have struck his bladder, which on the face of it doesn't seem too ominous. That said, he has been hospitalized for quite some time with his wife even asking for prayers which makes me think the media is maybe not telling the full story.
