Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive.

Such an interesting list. Not sure how I feel about it though tbh. Glad to see Gorby and Poitier on it though.

Great pick. Think he's going next year...

Before I reveal the official list in about ten minutes, here's who got dropped, disqualified, and was close to making the list: DROPPED: Greg Gilbert, Linda Nolan, Joanne Woodward, Diana Athill, Alberto Fujimori, Valerie Harper, Pearl Carr, Diana Serra Cary, Yoko Ono, Val Kilmer Disqualified: Monica Vitti Near misses: Little Richard, Henry Kissinger, Carol Channing, Diana Athill, Imelda Marcos, Barbara Walters, Joanne Woodward, Jean Marie Le Pen, Genesis P-Orridge, Katherine Jackson, Harry Reid, Sumner Redstone, 6ix9ine

And we're officially shut! Thanks to everyone who submitted a crowdsource entry, we have a total of 38 people submitting lists this year. Now it's on to the tabulating of points...

Last warning for the crowdsource list. Only a little over a half hour left to submit (I may impose a 15 minute grace for those who submit a bit late, but after that no more entries will be accepted).

Sexually abused a house maid as a teenager apparently.

There’s less than 3 hours to submit to the crowdsource list. Just a warning in case you didn’t realize that the deadline is 3 hours before the New Years in the UK...

Theoretically that is possible. However, with the candidates who are between that point and 60th, they are unlikely to get enough traction to make the list...

We are at 37 lists as of right now. Here is what the battleground looks like points wise: 45. 251 46. 245 47. 240 48. 231 49. 218 50. 217 ---------------------- 51. 217 52. 201 53. 200 54. 199 55. 195 56. 193 57. 188 58. 185 59. 185 60. 182 I think anything above that is safe at this point, and anything below that probably won't get traction, though there has been a couple of comebacks so not completely out of the realm of possibility that someone below 60th could make a comeback...

Day In The Death is officially in. Will the 3rd time be the charm? We’ll see. Good luck everyone.

Last call. If anyone wants their shadowlist to also be a crowdsorce list entry, please let me know so I can add your list onto the crowdsource list. Every list counts towards making the final list especially at this stage.

Don Lusk was at 114 points when he died, so sub points a coming for him. Time is running out to submit with only 7 hours left to submit an entry...

Just cleared some PM space so people can continue to PM if you want to. Time is running out to submit a list with less than 24 hours to submit to this...

Is the magnificent seven part of the completely dead movie list? I thought it might be but there were apparently three people who appeared as children who is said to be living on IMDB...

4 out of 5 subs died in poker tourney for me, which presumably makes me the one with the most dead subs, again. I’m really bad at getting people onto the main team here...

Hello. If any of you want your shadow list to also count for the crowdsource list, please let me know cause every list has an impact on who makes the list or not and what place they get. Thanks.

I overall am planning on staying mum for alt Obits next year. However, I can confirm that I did have Hector Timerman on my alt Obits team, and as such will need to replace him now...

After Timerman’s death I am struggling to find a replacement for him right now, not because there aren’t any great names left on the shortlist (there are), but more because I don’t know which one is going to be the right one...

Second loss for my team in two days...

Also don’t think executions are allowed...
