    Not Really Famous, But What A Moniker!

    Melanie Schmuck, who co-owns a house shaped like a shoe, has walked up to heaven. I'm guessing she bought the residence from an older lady with a large herd of children after being convinced it was a step up from her then dwelling. Perhaps her surname was a foreshadow to her gullibility. https://www.ydr.com/story/news/2019/03/01/haines-shoe-house-co-owner-melanie-schmuck-has-died-route-30-york-county/3029591002/

    Despite the fact IMDB still has him as living, it appears Leo G. Morrell actually died about a month before you posted this list. https://www.mylife.com/leo-morrell/e613539901026

    Mandan had the misfortune, so to speak, of not having his death announced until months later. By then, I guess the press didn't care.

    The 2019 Deathlist Cup

    Although not overtly stated as an obituary, this is certainly an acknowledgement of his death. Could it suffice for those (unlike me) who had him? http://www.wbaboxing.com/boxing-news/eusebio-pedroza-the-beast-with-19-defenses#.XHlRwKB7mUl

    Dead Pop Stars

    Survivor has lost two other members in recent years. The band's second lead vocalist, Jimi Jamison, died in September 2014. Didn't sing on 'Eye of the Tiger', but was the vocalist for several more U.S. top 40 hits, including three more top 10s. Earlier that year, short-term backup vocalist Fergie Fredriksen (who was on a number of deathlists), also passed away.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2020

    Hmmm. When I look up 'Stewart Adams', the original post is the only thing that pops up. If he did leave an obit, it didn't include what I quoted. Possibly a Twitter-linked message or something else which doesn't get scanned in a search.

    Alt Obituaries Deadpool

    Not surprising there won't be any bonus points. To confirm, I had him as well. He is my 7th hit. His death comes on the heels of that of Josephine Mandamin, my 5th rejected pick to also die. For context, two of the my seven hits were people not on the list I initially submitted.
