    Deadpool Detective Work

    This is why someone edited his page in the first place: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/miami-fl/roy-miller-6099845 As you can see the date of birth almost -- but doesn't quite -- match the test cricketer. Wrong person.

    Alt Obituaries Deadpool

    Well, since we're (sort of) showing our hands, I can tell you I have three picks younger than Toffa, though one would surpass her in mid-September 2019 if they live (highly likely). A long shot, very long shot and an all-but-guaranteed survivor. The big loser (so to speak) is Cancerous Hatred, who had Dabwido and had me by a couple of points if you factor in the youngest death in your current calculations (prior to Toffa's death).

    As noted elsewhere, you also now have the youngest hit in the pool. Significant because it takes out what could have been the Fernando Ricksen factor. On presumption he's going sometime this year, he'd have eclipsed Sprent Dabwibo for the youngest hit. With Nadia Toffa as a hit, the bar has been raised (or lowered, depending on your viewpoint).

    Yes, that's right. And I think I mentioned it here at the time, too. Craig MacGregor and Liam Miller went on the same day (February 9th). The following day I found out Marie Gruber had died on February 8th. Yes, two close calls for trebles for me, three overall.

    Nobody has ever hit the Daily Treble. I'm aware of two close calls. One was about a decade ago and involved three deaths that happened on the same day, EDT. However, because deaths are determined by local time, one of them was deemed to have occurred on the subsequent day. The second was me, in 2016. On the afternoon of March 2 (EST) the deaths of both Martin Crowe & Sarah Tait came over the wire. Given both died in Oceania, the official death date was March 3rd. Joey Feek was in a coma by that time. She had 24 hours to go on March 3rd but ended up surviving until the morning/early afternoon of March 4th.

    Shouldn't be an issue. Here is an obituary from the Italian edition of Rolling Stone. That should be sufficient. https://www.rollingstone.it/cinema/news-cinema/piero-tosi-e-morto-il-grande-costumista-del-cinema-italiano/472737/

    Was on a lot of people's radars six/seven years ago when he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Still talked about from time to time, usually either about his health, the death of Farrah Fawcett or the attempted murder case involving their son.

    Surprised me. Just lived a very low key life afterward, but still. Washington Post has now picked the story up. Dominoes should begin to fall as it breaks wider. (Edit: ESPN has picked it up. https://www.espn.com/olympics/trackandfield/story/_/id/27350707 )

    Probably not. Unfortunately, deaths don't seem to get reported nationally, only locally. Most of the names I've added have been found through Google searches for Tuskegee Airmen. Yes, Lemuel Lewie has indeed passed, having died April 14th. https://www.baltimoresun.com/obituaries/bs-md-ob-lemuel-lewie-20190419-story.html

    One of those accidentally on purpose circumstances for which an inquiry will be called and recommendations made that nobody will remember a day later. Meanwhile, the government achieves what you suggest.
