Daily Star obit.

Not at all, I just know on occasion that there’s a couple of people who do complain about when an obit is not in English *cough* Paul Bearer *cough*...

Returning to Australia.

Sad to say that it looks to be a very poor joker choice for the DDP...

Correct, as Walter Jones died on his birthday...

Neal Schon of Journey had his gallbladder removed...

It’s officially a solo. Congrats Faucheuse.

Guy Webster, photographer for classic albums such as the Doors debut album and Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence dead at 79.

Fernando Ricksen Romero, Deathrace pick for some dead at 70.

Thought this thread was going somewhere until the grammar mistake happened in the title. Oof...

Missed out on a Deathrace win because the death of Derek Maitland wasn’t announced till a month after he died. Oh well...

No, but the guardian does count...

John Dingell dead.

Just noticed that msc is missing points for David Dicherria, who died with a QO back in September... EDIT: Also Georges Loinger for this update, though he died since the last update rather than before...

Hector Timerman

Take it with a grain of salt, but some tabloids are alleging he has months to live.

Hi Spade. Emily Levine’s birthday is October 23, 1944 according to this. Just mentioning it in case she somehow gets a Qualifying Obit for the DDP...

Is this good enough for Emily Levine?

Replaced Basset, Fairlie, and McGahan with Sam Lloyd, Eusebio Pedroza, and Doug Supernaw.

Definitely died on the 6th.

Really has been an interesting day. I also had John Cocksy Cocks on my list. A carry over, but also a replacement pick for a rejected name as I thought the trial might last him a while and kidney cancer doesn’t seem as deadly. Still, glad I carried him over especially since it means a daily double for me (and everyone else who picked him except Fisher)...

Congratulations to Allen Kirshner, Banana, Cancerous Hatred, Captain Chorizo 2019, Cheesecake 1, Chipmunk Roasting, Deceased Hose, Gerard Tierney, Grin Reaper, Joey Russ, Morlock, Pan Breed, and Sir Creep for getting 14 points.
