The litmus test is whether anyone else gets added to either the 'hits' list or the 'Strikeouts' list beforehand. Otherwise, do your best to remain patient and not think about it. Since Hulka took over the AO Deadpool, I've not noticed any discernible pattern in when hits are scored. I guess most frequently I've noticed he will do morning updates...sometimes wee hour of the morning updates (Eastern Time). I've not found a source better than the one you've listed here, but will refrain from saying anything else and let things play out. Best of luck.

The Taiwan Yahoo site has an obituary-like entry. Debatable as to whether it fits into the Western world definition of an obituary. Here is the original Chinese site link https://tw.news.yahoo.com/傅達仁瑞士安樂死-享壽85歲-230936888--nba.html Here is the translated-to-English version link https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-TW&u=https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E5%82%85%E9%81%94%E4%BB%81%E7%91%9E%E5%A3%AB%E5%AE%89%E6%A8%82%E6%AD%BB-%E4%BA%AB%E5%A3%BD85%E6%AD%B2-230936888--nba.html&prev=search

Already started looking today because I don't want to see anyone lose a hit due to lack of a proper source. Had it happen to me twice over the years. The BBC Chinese news site does have an article but it is focused on the euthanasia and not actually an obituary. Will post any link that I think could be accepted. I guess we can rule out the Focus Taiwan News Channel and Taipei Times obituaries.

Yes, I see that. Didn't click on the link but now see it goes back 10 months.

A GoFundMe page has been started to help pay his medical expenses. http://www.mandatory.com/wrestlezone/news/958695-matt-cappotellis-family-seeking-help-via-go-fund-me

Thank you. Yes, he'd bump Liam Miller as the youngest hit. I will also say he's the youngest person I chose, so I have no response if a Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber etc. goes and they were someone's long shot pick.

In looking over the lists posted here, I can see that deadsox / Deceased Hose had John Bain aka TotalBiscuit. As luck would have it, so did I. He was also on my 2017 list, so not a last minute substitution for a rejected player or anything. I've sent links to the cnet.com and the sun.co.uk obituaries. Both are a little thin on information but the Sun obit indicates more is coming. I don't foresee an issue (said with hopeful confidence).

What is it with Electric Company alumni? First Bill Cosby and now Morgan Freeman. Several cast members now deceased but wonder if those still alive will have anything to say about whatever tawdry behaviour could've been going on behind the scenes.
