How Jerry Lewis is still alive at 90 after all he's been through is a total mystery.As for Carl Reiner I think he'll live to 110

only 3 out of 104 still alive and the film is only 53 yrs old. unusually high death toll !

Asa Briggs death reduces the no to 11 still alive http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35813749 Bibliogryphon's list was a bit of a killing field, so to update, I thought I'd look at the new names on the list since 2015. However, this was scuppered by them all having sensible reasons for the sabbatical, like taking up an interest in trams, or walking across Brazil for UNICEF, or not being arsed with politics. Roy Hattersley is on one, but I've not heard anything about him, mores the pity. The only exception (beyond Ian Paisley's widow, perhaps) was Lord Wade of Chorlton (b. 1932), a former treasurer for the Tory party during the Thatcher era. He once said: "Any well brought-up young man should have a mistress, a yacht and a racehorse." And there in lies my entire knowledge of him. Will get an obit one day. Robert Goff died a few days ago so exactly half the peers on the list are dead in just 2 years.

He went quite quickly in the end. I wonder if his death will speed up the demise of his sister Sheila Mercier

the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff John W Vessey jnr has died at 94 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/19/us/john-w-vessey-jr-who-was-chairman-of-joint-chiefs-dies-at-94.html?_r=1

But not Arthur Hiller, who just died ! http://variety.com/2016/film/news/arthur-hiller-dead-dies-director-love-story-1201839474/

It's amazing how many really famous people are turning 100 these days. Must be unprecedented surely !

Only one beagle needed to die which has since happen ed presumably he died because he was working like a dog ! (beagle)

I'll go for the King of Thailand.He's a lingerer like Havelange was, in and out of hospital at deaths door then back again. It's surely time for him to make way for Queen Lizzie to be the longest serving monarch.

Hallelujah! Hard to believe this is only the 2nd hit since i joined deathlist back in the spring but I'm not going to shed too m any tears for old Havelange.Well overdue !

it has to be said the Daily Mail is not the most reliable source. I'll only believe it's that b ad if the BBC or Sky report it .For now I don't believe it !

probably the biggest ever death from Star Wars. sad loss. RIP Biggest? only in that he was in 6 films, as opposed to Peter Cushings one or Alec Guiness's 3, and RD-D2 was a legendary character in the franchise. I accept Cushing and Guinness were more famous actors though
