If the committee had included him this year, they could have used "He's not as alive as he once was" as a perfect headline.

I had a strong feeling that they will go for Ken Livingstone after his recent Alzheimer diagnosis, as he's easily among the Top 10 most well known political figures in the UK and is exactly the kind of name they usually chose. I mean it would be to early to include him but so were many names on prior Deathlists. I'm kind of surprised to see that I was the only one who had him in mind.

5 minutes ago, gcreptile said:I think he's not a good pick. The same source that mentions his dementia also mentions his good physical shape. Bur yes, I come to this conclusion by 2 minutes of google- which might not be enough.
I mean, Rene Weller, another dementia-ridden boxer of similar age, was still walking his dog months before he became bedridden and shot a movie two years before he died. But I agree that there are better picks.

If they wanted to have a conductor on the list, they should have rather chosen Michael Tilson Thomas instead.

Bad pick IMO. He was probably faking his dementia for prison privileges, as he had to do yard work to pay for his TV and wanted to be relocated to a safer prison which didn't worked out. Now he's back to giving interviews and is already writing his autobiography in which he denies all rumors about his health. Sidney Cooke would have been a way better choice.

Everybody who visits an nursing home would be surprised on how long some people can survive in absolutely horrible condition.
I had a 87-year old patient who had terminal cancer, which wasn't treatable anymore so he technically was in the same situation as Jimmy Carter and he was still alive on my last day of work with no indication of dying any time soon, after having this disease for years. At Jimmy's age, his cells divide much slower so his cancer is less aggressive than for younger folks.

What do you guys think about my drops? I'm still uncertain about a few of them:
Andy Taylor: His radiation Therapy seems to give him a little bit more time than initially expected, is no longer in palliative care and is currently asymptomatic, his prostate cancer has only spread to his bones yet
Josip Manolic: Had this guy on my list for years now and he just doesn't die so I decided to drop him like I did with David Musuguri last year whose also still alive, he's probably one of the healthier centenarians, still walks unaided, survived Covid without getting hospitalized and isn't an A-Lister like Dick van Dyke, who would be to big to be missed
Zhang Lixiong: Very frail and will probably die next year but I found him a boring name, he's a General and one of the last founding members of the PLA but basically just famous for his age in the west
June Lockhart: Just old but still active as an actress at 98 now
Roger Corman: Another generic old guy without public health issues who seemingly stopped aging 20 years ago by his appearance, these kind of names haven't brought me a lot of hits in my previous Shadowlists
David Attenborough: Definitely one of the hardest drops, as I love his documentaries and wouldn't want to miss him but objectively there are better candidates, I always keep the 25 remainer limit so I had to drop either him of Dick van Dyke and I kept Dick van Dyke because of his dramatic weight loss in the last few years and his recent appearances in a wheelchair
Mel Brooks: Same reason as Corman and Lockhart but I strangely have a feeling that he might join his friends Norman Lear and Carl Reiner next year, even though he's in perfect health but it's basically a gamble at this age

I initially planned to include her in my Shadowlist this year but I changed my mind when I heard that she will appear in the next Paddington Movie, which will be released in November 2024. The movie was filmed until this October, so she's probably in better health than many of us here imagine. The official reason she left the Channel 4 drama in March was "back pain", which sounds more like an old people issue than a cancer relapse. It's important to note that this lady is 73, an age when most people are already retired. She already mentioned in 2020 when she was cancerfree, that she wants to take things a bit slower now.

DACHL-List candidate Eckart Dux (b. 1926) had to cancel an appearance at a "King of Queens" screening in September. He only had two voice roles this year, once as Moriarty in "Star Trek: Picard", a role he already voiced 30 years ago and in "The Great Escaper" where he starred alongside fellow DACHL-List candidate Jürgen Thormann (b. 1928). Thormann officially retired in 2022 but might have made an exception this time, as this movie will be Michael Caine's last film, for whom he has provided his voice for almost 60 years.

Hello, I know it's a little bit late, and I have been procrastinating a lot (I would have done it a lot sooner if my PC had gotten fixed earlier), but here are finally the results of the Alive List. I'm currently sick, so I thought this would be the perfect time to complete this project.
Ladyfiona could be leading if Geoff Brown is still alive, which is highly unlikely, as there is a 22-year-old obituary of him circulating on the internet with a different birth date than in his public records, but the same wife nonetheless. So, I count him as dead for now. The rest of us all have only 44 folks alive, so the difference would be marginal anyway, and the flu season could change the outcome quite a bit. There is time until December 31.
With kind regards,
Maybe the worst host in all of Deathlist Forum History and certainly the laziest.

First of all, thanks for the people who've already send their lists. Of course there are still a few days left for other users who want to participate in this game so there is no time to hurry.
My second point is that I've noticed is that the players who send me their lists so far haven't made use of one of their five age/duration exceptions they could theoretically use for most diseases I've listed. I've added this last rule about a hour before I received the first list to make it a little bit more easier for users who don't want to research for hours in order to complete the list but still want to have a few good unique picks instead of chosing 25 random oldies. As the host of this game I want to play fair so I haven't made use of this rule as well but if you want to replace five names with younger candidates who still have one of the conditions that you are allowed to pick from you can feel free to do so. We can also abolish this special rule if you like, I'm quite flexible in this regard.
My third point is that it would be very nice if arghton would post one or two subs for each category (the centenarians, the nonagarians, the cancer sufferers, the ALS picks and the candidates you picked freely) in case one of his candidates dies before the starting line but that's not absolutely necessarily as we can also discuss this scenario when it happens
I will do the Masterlist when my computer is fixed which I currently can't charge.
Here's my list:
1. Roland Dumas
2. Henry Kissinger, turns 100 in October but we go by birth years as mentioned above
3. Hazel McCallion
4. Norman Lear
5. Glynis John
6. Hans Modrow
7. Kim Yong-nam
8. Dick Van Dyke
9. Mel Brooks
10. Ruth Westheimer
11. Wolfgang Bosbach, has Stage IV Prostate Cancer for a decade now and doesn't seem to die
12. Edward Stourton
13. Rainer Langhans
14. Roberta Flack, has ALS and is obviously very old which gives her a very low life expectancy so she's probably my riskiest pick
15. Marcus Stewart, has ALS since September 2022
16. Michael Caine
17. Rupert Murdoch
18. Ottfried Fischer, has Parkinson for over 20 years
19. Billy Connolly
20. Gunther von Hagens, got parkinson for over 10 years so he's within the second age limit I mentioned
21. Tony Christie
22. Mario Adorf
23. Sue Lopez, got dementia
24. Buzz Aldrin
25. Eric Idle, had a surgery for pancreatic cancer
26. Karl Heinz Hoffmann, former german right-wing terrorist who had a stroke last year and is still in hospital
27. Prunella Scales
28. William Shatner
29. June Squibb
30. Noam Chomsky
31. Pat Robertson
32. Fedez (Rapper)
33. Loni Anderson, has COPD
34. George Soros
35. Patricia Routledge
36. Chuck Grassley
37. Dianne Feinstein
38. Freddy Quinn
39. Dennis Skinner
40. Linda Ronstadt, I counted PSP as a form of dementia as it's a neurodegenerative disorder that's often confused with FTD or Parkinson, if anyone here thinks it's unfair that I chose her than just write that and I'll replace her with a sub
Subs:
Centenarians= Traute Lavrenz, Margot Friedländer
Nonagarians= Gudrun Ure
Cancer Sufferers= Janey Godley, Linda Nolan
ALS= Rob Burrow
Regulars= James Watson
You do not have name the diseases in your lists by the way, that's my job, I only listed them because I want to be transparent as the host
