Chelsea confirms:

Funky D, who I picked for Deathrace is dead.

I had a unique with Jacqui Forster a few years back that was scored because of a Guardian sports blog, and it counted (she did get a proper Guardian obit later, so not one of those barely QO names). So I’d think that’d count. Although he doesn’t look to be a DDP pick...

Surprised this song hasn’t appeared yet: And on that note:

It definitely looked like a great list on paper, but man am I stunned at how quickly this got to 8 deaths, ngl...

Also a DDP pick, which makes it 4 hits with COVID-19 now.

Valery Giscard d’Estaing

He is though:

Tbf, OoO mentioned that he wasn’t in the greatest health in past, so his death wasn’t really unexpected, just that there wasn’t a lot to talk about up to that point.

April 28

And I think in Nash’s case the reason it was so quick besides being an abrupt death was because of the film made about him.

David Crosby showing people how to be safe as possible if you go to the store...

BBC obit

Abdul Majed, the person who killed the first Bangladesh president has been hanged

Have it ever occurred to you that people can’t go run a dead pool 24/7? Also, I think msc is a great member on the forum and I certainly hope he doesn’t disappear anytime soon.

The coloring of his skin, I think it looks whiter than it should. It doesn’t look normal...

Some tweets that his wife Ruth has apparently died too.

Mail obit for ddp

Well, one of them is already on this year’s list.

Had a pretty good chance of making team until the late arrivals of Sultan Qaboos and John Lewis (where only the latter made my team anyways). These things happen though...

Congrats on the three folk who picked Nobuhiko Obayashi. I had him on my team in 2018, but dropped him in 2019 and didn’t bother to bring him back in 2020, so I believe that’s my first miss for 2020. And I suspect that it probably won’t be the last...

Big George Brock, who worked with the likes of Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, and Albert King is dead at 88

BOO! (he’s recovered apparently)

Any idea what happened to Rudy Borgstaller? There doesn’t seem to be any evidence that he’s either alive or dead...
