Czech composer Karel Husa died on December the 14th aged 95. https://www.novinky.cz/kultura/423847-zemrel-skladatel-karel-husa.html

Former Uruguay president (and beloved dictator) Gregorio "Goyo" Alvarez is on ventilator suffering from heart failure. He was reported to be dead yesterday, but it turned out he is alive and in critical conditions. He has been in hospital for months, but his conditions took a turn for the worst two days ago. http://www.elpais.com.uy/informacion/gregorio-alvarez-continua-delicado-salud.html

Mario Soares is feeling better and had a good improvement yesterday. It seems he will be out of intensive therapy in a few days. All good for the old man! http://tomartvinfo.com/2016/12/16/m-rio-soares-h-ind-cios-de-retoma-de-consci-ncia/

Ah, so we have other 75 years of joeyruss.... http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/b/b5/Exploding-head.gif/revision/latest?cb=20140310004650

Gypsy....

I notice I picked her.

Cheers, Death Impends. From the moment I saw Hechler's name I knew you were going to win. I mean, this guy has been in hospice care for months! Anyway I fear my own pick could cheat us like A. A. Gill before New Year's Eve....

With Gill I reach 2 (and a no obit)

1)Angus Young 2)Malcolm Young 3)Piers Sellers 4)King Kong Bundy 5)Craig Sager 6)Magic Johnson 7)Kamala (I consider 1950 belonging to the 1950s) 8)Larry Bird 9)Irvine Welsh 10)Hamid Karzai 11)Mahmud Ahmadinejad 12)Ricky Steamboat 13)Tito Santana 14)Bob Orton, Jr. 15)Greg Valentine 16)Ted DiBiase, Sr. 17)Hulk Hogan 18)Brutus Beefcake 19)Arn Anderson 20)Matt Groening 21)Kevin Bacon 22)Craig Spector 23)Dynamite Kid 24)Tony Todd 25)Doug Bradley 26)Clive Barker 27)Don Coscarelli 28)Kane Hodder 29)Bill Moseley 30)Stevie Wonder 31)Frank Stallone 32)Morgan Tsvangirai 33)Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi 34)Mohamed Morsi 35)Recep Tayyp Erdogan 36)Sara Coward 37)Peter Gabriel 38)Cindy Lauper 39)Phil Collins 40)Emmanuel Carrère 41)Alister McGrath 42)Kim Basinger 43)Ron Howard 44)Matthew Modine 45)Vincent d'Onofrio 46)Geena Davis 47)Jeff Goldblum 48)Gordon Brown 49)Tony Blair 50)Kevin Nash Replace Gill with Tom Billington

A dick to the bitter end... Exactly what I was thinking!

He's a hit for me.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alexander van der Bellen is the new president of Austria. Murphy's law coming true.

I'm 20/50. Still I think I'll get one/two more hits before the end of the year and there will be a last big death in 2016.

I've seen that movie. Rev. Harry Powell was a nasty character and I think he could be considered the archetype for Max Cady of Cape Fear. Mitchum was a natural born villain.

Brazialian communist author Ferreira Gullar, who was elected immortal by the Brazilian Academy some years ago, has died aged 86. http://g1.globo.com/pop-arte/noticia/ferreira-gullar-morre-aos-86-anos-no-rio.ghtml He was not so immortal...

No shit sherlock.

Islam Karim... ops!

He has a few years left in him, Robots usually die around 80.

Clu Gulagher and James Karen are both alive and much older than Calfa.

Marty Feldman closed his wonderful eyes 34 years ago, aged 48.

It's a risk to drop her next year, but I reckon there is plenty of better picks around.

Italian historian Claudio Pavone died on November the 29th, just a day before his 96th birthday. http://www.repubblica.it/cultura/2016/11/29/news/morto_claudio_pavone_storico_guerra_civile_italia-153069226 I did not like him, but his work is remarkable.

I pick Glen Campbell.
