Body found. Bruises on him apparently

was it the same Shakespeare celebration mentioned in the Patricia Routledge thread ?

untagged now ?

Will the unnatural causes bonus apply in his case ? currently 9th on the DDP scoreboard with 4 hits so far, not that bad…

wasn't he tagged dead a while ago and then untagged some hours later ?

Omg ! That is a shock after that drough… i don’t regret putting him in my ao and DDP teams

Sala death made the News for almost 2 months, Ulliel fame is comparable to Crumberbatch or Tom Holland out here in France and was fairly well known worlwilde too and Sophie was one of the most prominent electro singer of her Time. Once again, ignorance is not a virtue.

I’d say, Badinter and Malaurie were such big names out here that it makes february a « good » month overall, but I tend to agree that in terms of international fame, it’s quite dry…

It feels personnal

Does Shawn Barber qualifies to continue this trend in 2024 ?

Trump's legal appeal rejected, a criminal trial will take place on the 25th of march in the Stormy Daniels affair

Of course I knew Lumley, Twiggy, Redgrave and Philips but couldn’t recognize them (except Lumley). Redgrave looks the frailest of them all…

Can someone explain who si who on the photo ? I Absolutely don’t know any of these women except Routledge whom I search prior to her addition to deathlist edit : no need to tell me who Camilla is in the picture though

Of course, that is a great source of Joy for all of us

I was sure he was already on the immortal list ! He for sure qualifies as @arghton sum up his illnesses a while ago : « Juhani Palmu (Have to mention him here. Diabetes, stroke, heart problems, history of smoking and drinking, stroke, heart attack, battled three different cancers plus now battling cancer, two near-fatal house fires that have resulted in him loosing all the fingers on one of his hands, one leg and multiple toes. The second fire put him into coma, he was critical in ICU and his heart stopped beating twice during a surgery. He's 77, must be some kind of a medical miracle) » since then near : fatal infection in April 2023 + pneumonia in october + now hospitalized. I personnaly consider him the King of immortals. The two house fire are just cherry on top

Quite shocked that Dumas as outlived Badinter, the former has completly disappeared from public life and is obese while the latter was again seen recently on TV…

9 février 2024 Hit n°3 Death penalty inevitable Former minister of justice and renowned lawyer Robert Badinter has died aged 95 to provide our deathlist with a quick follow-up hit. Badinter was born in Paris in 1928 in a bourgeois family which exiled in Lyon during WWII. After having graduated from Law School in Paris in the early 1950's, he became a lawyer for almost thirty years, until 1981. Between 1974 and 1976 he defended Patrick Henry who was suspected of having killed an 8-year-old child : this marked the start of a period of activism against death penalty for Badinter. In 1981, Mitterrand appointed him minister of justice and after many heated debates, he succeeded in having the death penalty abolished in October of the same year. At this time, he was one of the most influential left wing politician and one of the most famous faces of french politics. He then became the president of the Conseil Constitutionnel between 1986 and 1995, before being succeeded by another of the candidates on our list, Roland Dumas. In his later years, he remained a senator until 2011 and was frequently interview on his view about current political affairs. He is survived by his wife, author and philosopher Elisabeth Badinter and his ex-wife and current 100 yo pick Anne Vernon. After a quiet month of January, things have seemed to accelerate as Badinter marks a welcomed third hit for our list in the space of a single week. He was selected this year at number 14 and died on the 80th anniversary of his father deportation during the Rue Sainte-Catherine roundup in 1943.

Badinter was picked by two teams including my french theme one. Waiting for an obit, I would be surprised if it doesn't happen

Yep, just got the breaking news notif… Quite unexpected he was still in and out talking on TV recently… A great mind, 3rd hit for our french deathlist

Robert Badinter dead aged 95. 3rd hit, obit to follow

If I’m not mistaking, several articles refer at thé celebration as the « 100th anniversary of Siphandone’s birth » which is a very odd phrasing. Wouldn’t be too surprised if he’s already dead and they announce it in some days

Biden must be at least 100, as he confused Macron with « Mitterrand from Germany »

Nothing there in 5 days ? Tempting to post something in this old thread… Where is mymango ?
