    It'd be a double whammy; he's one of three remaining breathers on my HPDP Who are the other two? Glen Campbell and Zsa Zsa I don't think you'll ever see your list without breathers.

    Ideas And Possibilities For 2017

    Two old Vietnamese commies surprised me for being still alive: Le Duc Ahn (1920), president from 1992 to 1997, and Do Muoi (1917), prime minister from 1988 to 1991. Among Cambodians I remember Nuon Chea (1926) and Khieu Sampan (1931).

    Who Should Be On The 2017 Deathlist?

    Pope Benedict XVI anyone? Or are you trying to give him up?

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Automatic Google translation was pretty hilarious. Anyway, the Prinz is a real bastard.

    The 10Th Death Of 2016

    Next year DL will be a blast. Zsa Zsa, MTM, Campbell, Wouk, Douglas, Joost, Sallis are just too old/ill to see 2018. They are beyond their possibilities. They'll drop like flies in 2017.

    Fidel Castro

    As much as I disliked him, he was a fundamental historical figure in 20th century. And I don't remember Prince or David Bowie sighting nuclear warheads towards America.

    Class Of 1926

    My original pick is still doing well. I reckon he will be at least in the final 4.

    Each Year's Most Significant Death.

    Maybe Bud Spencer or Harper Lee too.

    Spanish Civil War Veteran(s)

    Marcos Ana is another hit for the Italian Deathlist. Two hits in two days after two different daily doubles during the year.

    The dead of 2016

    And ugly musician/composer Pauline Oliveros' death is completely overshadowed.... http://www.factmag.com/2016/11/25/pauline-oliveros-dies-deep-listening-composer/ She was 84.

    Campbell. But I fear there will be no more hits.

    Who Should Be On The 2017 Deathlist?

    Monica Vitti (b. 1931) has had severe dementia since 2000 and she has spent her last 15 years in a nursing home in Switzerland. One to look at..

    Who Should Be On The 2017 Deathlist?

    I don't think he's that widely known, except to people into comic book stuff. I mean, I'm aware of the likes of Batman, Spiderman etc but I wouldn't read comics about them or go to see any of those films. I don't know who created any of these figures and I suspect I'm not alone. Stan Lee is an undiscussed legend. If you say Steve Ditko I could agree with you, but almost everyone knows Lee.

    Class Of 1937

    Am I right in thinking that his father was assassinated thus didn't have a natural death? Or was the Prime Minister of Norway? I definitely know there was a political assassination in Norway but not sure if royal one. His father Olav V died in 1991 of heart attack. Maybe you are referring to Prime Minister Vikdun Quisling, who was executed after the war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Olof_Palme No I was getting mixed up between Sweden and Norway -The Swedish Prime Minister was assassinated in 1986. Oh, I remember. He was a great man, indeed.

    Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Would be funny if she did die then as the Prinz has been planning Zsa Zsa 100th Birthday for years, if she died a matter of days before she reached it he would be fuming, still it ain't going to happen she will still be here in 10 years time knowing her. I hope the Prinz will let her go after her 100th birthday. If he loses the house in September 2017, it will be useless to keep her alive.

    26?!? In 2001?? I'm no math genius but I'm an orator and will loudly decry BULLSHIT! He would have been 11. SC Struggling to see your point here. Unless.... You do realise that Red Marauder was the horse, not the jockey??? Uhm, that's a good compromise between Sir Creep's and Time's theories, I guess.
