I'm pretty sure Stan Lee was 'active' on Twitter until the day before he died, so...

Reports on Twitter that Mexican author Fernando del Passo has died News reports confirm (in Spanish): https://elpais.com/cultura/2018/11/14/actualidad/1542214577_037675.html?id_externo_rsoc=TW_CC

Will I make it to year 3 voting for Wouk again and again is the true question here

For all that TMZ's usually on the ball with stuff like this, I do think something of this magnitude should be confirmed by one of the more reputable media sources first though, since Lee's one of the celebs most prime for death hoaxes IMO.

If the thought is to drop Gazza from next year's list, who should be the token 'not old and dying'? I'd suggest Vervoort if there's no surprise development on her during the next two months - for all that she walked back her claims of 'getting ready,' I don't think she's long for this world IMO. That said, I could see it being a question of if she's famous enough...

Strangely defeatist is right - Cena's tweet for example isn't something you'd expect given RR said he'd beat it again (in more colourful language of course)
