Towards the beginning of December - a thread will be posted asking "Who should be on the 2017 Deathlist?". The committee may or may not pay attention to it, but I'm pretty certain celebrities mentioned in that thread have been included in years past. Pearl Washington died today. I remember someone saying he was not going to see 2017. Patricio Aylwin died yesterday aged 98 and he was in a horrible condition ever in december. Deathlist refused to pick them (maybe Washington is not so famous, yes) or Howard Marks to pick Lester Piggott, Murray Walker, Mary Tyler Moore, Glenn Campbell and none of them is gonna die this year.

for me of course.

Italian journalist Emiiano Liuzzi died on April 6th aged 46 and journalist Stefano di Michele died on 16th April aged 56. 6 plus 10 and 46 plus 10, amazing. Two Communist journalists less, so these are not sad demises.

Mel Brooks is a German Jew and Jews usually live more than 90 years so I think he will reach 98-99. On the other hand Gene Wilder is a Russian Jew and Russian Jews live more than German Jews so Brooks won't outlive Wilder.

And he's my 8th hit after 32 days of silence! 32 DAYS!

British Actress Karina Huff died aged 55. She took parte to many unwatchable Italian comedies in the 80s. http://www.repubblica.it/spettacoli/cinema/2016/04/18/news/e_morta_karina_huff_la_bionda_susan_di_sapore_di_mare_-137903693/

Too much forums and no deaths make droll a dull boy. Too much forums and no deaths make droll a dull boy. Too much forums and no deaths make droll a dull boy.

Almost incomprehensible translation job from Google. Almost incomprehensible translation job from Google. Deathlist picked the wrong Chirac.

You nearly killed me!

The guy clearly has something against his Grandmother. Urgh, that's a whole different website, you sicko. It was a joke. My grandmas died in 1997 and 2002, aged 92 and 103. <insert tumbleweed here> Well that makes you even more sick. (Is it new forum criteria to be completely devoid of a sense of humour to join?) He's devoid of a second 'L' for that. You British are apparently devoid of brains. drol(l) American I presume? So to continue with your ridiculous stereotyping of entire nations - your jingoistic attack dog response is about what we should expect in response to a joke. And since you haven't bothered to provide, or have hidden, your origin - if it turns out you are not american that simply proves how far off the mark the stereotypical attitude can be. Still, my moneys on yank, you lot are adversarial at birth I'm Italian. I don't eat pizza and spaghetti, don't play mandolino, don't know any member of mafia. Ok, I lied, I ate spaghetti once.

What happened the first time round, were they like revived after being clinically dead? Wow what are the odds?? They resurrected yesterday, Come on people, bet!!!! At least some of you

Nah I reckon 2-3 years!I'd try when he turns 91 since that's the age his brother died. I don`t think that makes any difference.I mean siblings can die at different ages when they got old.Fidel has a long history of health problems and is one of the biggest global figures of the 20th century so his continued inclusion is a smart move in my view.I don`t think he looks that great in that video though.I mean he looks ok for someone his age but he looks worse than some on this list that are older such as Prince Philip, Jimmy Carter ,Henry Kissenger ,Stan Lee and Peter Carrington to name a few. Yes, but he won't go this year. I think 2019 will be his year. He looks fine to me, too fine to die this year. However there are some Deathlist legends who must be listed until their deaths and Fidel is one of them.

Pope wants us to be invaded by islamic immigrants... he's not so good. He will die in 2040 when he will become Emire of Italy. Evil guys last forever.

He's gonna leave a big Mark on deathlist insuccesses.

Nelson Mandela (a glorified terrorist) Martin Luther King JFK Gorbacev Albert Einstein John Lennon Lev Trotsky Lula da Silva and Murray Walker because he did not deserve to be on Deathlist!!!

He broke his hip a while back and has already passed the average that someone his age who has done that, lives for subsequently. Faaar from a stupid pick. We'll see. I bet my grandma he won't die in 2016.

This is the most ridicolous pick i've ever seen along with Lester Piggott and Bruce Forsyth.

Castro, Graham, Douglas, De Havilland, Gabor and Adultparty are fucking immortal.

On my personal secret deathlist I have McCain, Tovar, Youguang, Sarosy, Dorfles, Hardegen, italian composer Cecilia Seghizzi (b. 1908) and others. I scored 7 hits: Umberto Eco, George Kennedy, Martin Crowe, Joey Feek, Nancy Reagan, Hilary Putnam, Cliff Michelmore. Not so good considering I have 130 names on my list!

Forgive me, I will not continue because it's useless. I just want to say this list is awful and will go down as a major disappointment with 8-9 deaths. That's the way it is. People like Lester Piggott and Sandy Gall are completely random, plus age was considered more important than cancer. I hope it makes at least 12 deaths but I honestly think it won't. The deaths of Vigoda and BBG were pure luck (BBG broke his hip); Crowe was the only one we knew was going to die. But sincerely Cruyff, Umberto Eco, Hilary Putnam and others, not so old but haunted by cancer, could have been considered for this list. You did a great work, though. It's not so easy to write a deathlist, even if everyone retains he is the best at it.

Zsa Zsa Gabor 60% Havelange 65% De Havillad 5% Bhumibol 30% Graham 50% Wouk 50% Perez de Cuellar 60% Adams 70% (he's THE MAN!) Douglas 55% Smith 25% Moore 5% Sallis 58% Philip 20% Randi 3% Carrington 38% James 40% Dole 49% Westhuizen 1% Scales 0% (why on this list? Why????) Carter 4% (Democrats never die) Kissinger 32% chong 5% Ellis 59% Bush Sr. 55% Lynn 3% Phillips 60% Castro 2% I will continue later

Gillo Dorfles is really famous in Italy as an immortal zombie like painter Giorgio Michetti (b. 1912) and architect L. Caccia Dominioni (b. 1913). At least one of them will not see 2017, but I'm doubtful about their mortality... Former Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi (b. 1920) is not in good health and he may die this year, while Giorgio Napolitano, former communist dictator, is very well and will reach 110 (evil guys don't die, you know). Radical politician Marco Pannella (b. 1930) is finally dying of cancer and I think former Prime Minister Arnaldo Forlani (b. 1925) is not so healthy as well. If Ciampi makes it to 2017 he would be a good choice for a sure death. The other men I cited are not enough famous to have their deaths announced in UK.

Chinese linguist Zhou Youguang, father of the pinyn, would be a good choiche. I would also consider italian art critic Gillo Dorfles, Hungarian-Canadian chess player Zoltan Sarosy, Mexican actress Lupita Tovar. I'm joking, none of them will make it to 2017! But I still think Jonathan Demme will not live many years... and I think the same thing about Roger Corman, Kenneth Kaunda, Dawda Jawara, Abdoulaye Wade (random guys), H D Stanton, M Emmett Walsh.
