Since FFBI are now gone from the DDP, might as well mention the case where Sarah Harding gets a message from a cancer mum who got a similar diagnosis

Duterte is claiming that his Barrett’s esophagus may turn into cancer

Seems like someone forgot their mantra...

Lute Olson dead

Bullet Bob himself has now died. Surprised he lasted that long

Cathy Smith, drug dealer who played a major role in the death of comedic legend John Belushi is dead at 73

If true, the committee is so stupid. They picked the wrong not notable dad of an A lister.

Gonna try to do something with survivors from every pool I competed in, and see if that can get to 250 names (including inverse). If not, I’ll add a few others at the end.

We’ve been through this before. When Kim Jong-un actually dies it’ll probably be when no one has been paying attention, just like with Kim Jong-il

If you aren’t including folk who were rejected but recovered, then Mark Allen should be removed from that list. Also Bilton was rejected, and although he’s stable at the moment he hasn’t really recovered (and never will now that we know what his immunotherapy is)

He’s still liking some tweets too pretty recently... but I believe he liked a lot more posts when he was actively tweeting too. Kind of reminds me of Andretti tbh...

Well, if this pool ever updates, I had Frankie Banali.

I should be able to get access to my computer again soon (been stuck in a hotel for a while), in which case I’ll catch up on the three hits. And of course if anyone else dies from the list in these next few days I’ll write about them too. In other news, I believe we’re tied with the 2019 hit total at this point, though we’re one behind 2017...

Hopefully people aren’t going to bang their heads if they picked him now that Frankie Banali has gone.

Actually seems to be the 5th year in a row. Denise Marshall also died on the 21st, so yeah...

No surprise he QO’s, The Sun has come in

Continuing the quick pace of hits, I unsurprisingly had Frankie Banali. Needless to say, I don’t think he will be providing bonus points for anyone unless someone gets a Daily Double...

Since the above roundup wasn’t updated despite me mentioning his QO 20 hours ago, a brief mention for Mike Tindall

He doesn’t look ill at all to be completely honest with you.

Yeah, but that isn’t a QO. A QO is one of the major UK sources...

Not even close.

Mike Tindall gets a mention here

He showed up in May to troll with me and to tell LFN to kill himself, don’t worry about him.

I think the bigger issue is that Philip Latham should’ve gotten a QO in general. The fact that other publications didn’t make an obit for him is really stunning. I still don’t think the paid death notices should come back mind, then you could pick any obscure person, pay the notices the right amount of money and get points, and I really don’t think that’s moral.
