Very well put @msc. Also Alan Greenspan has been very quiet and how on earth is Sonny Rollins still alive with his pulmonary fibrosis condition?

Many congratulations to @wannamaker and hard luck to @max_bossetti.

@Bibliogryphon has another hit it seems with Edna O'Brien

Boris Volynov please

Some suggestions from me: Kenneth Cope (battled COPD for years), Jean Marsh (stroke and minor heart attack in 2011), Richard Wilson (severe heart attack in 2016), Ruth Buzzi (bedridden after suffering a series of strokes), Cindy Birdsong (suffering debilitating strokes in 2023).

Bob Newhart is a hit for me

Stanley Baxter

The death of Bob Newhart takes me to 11 hits here.

I'm still very confident that the 4th hit will happen soon then more to follow to at least get the official DL into double digits.

Spain with a convincing win for my prediction. Spain have been without doubt team of the tournament and played the host nation and France en route to the final. Not one of their games has gone to penalties and only the one with Germany went to extra time. They will be fresher and have the quality and depth that would be the envy of most of the nation's that have competed in Euro 2024 let alone England.

The sad death of Shannen Doherty brings me to double digits - my 10th hit here.

Carl Davis, Roger Whittaker, Bobby Charlton, Joss Ackland and Michael Parkinson more fallers here @RIP Wee Jum

Definitely someone who should "Always" be on our minds from a deadpooling perspective in the coming weeks and months.

Definitely NOT a drop imo. I can see he his getting frailer which of course is natural for someone in their 90s. A- list Hollywood actor and should remain on the list until he goes.

Hopefully now the UK election is over and before things start to gain momentum with the US Presidential election we get a deluge of DDP and official DL hits to get us all talking.

No surprises here - I definitely voted Labour

What a fabulous 50 @Drewsky1211!!!

I have got him on my shadow list this year

Good luck to both @wannamaker and @max_bossetti in the final.

Fair point @Lafaucheuse, I genuinely forgot about that pool and the plethora of points someone like Khaleda offers there.

Only 6 on the list on page 1 have deceased as far as I can see (Janis Paige, Glynis Johns, Roger Corman, Piper Laurie, Alan Arkin and more recently Donald Sutherland). So we must be overdue by now for some big name hits from Hollywood.

I make this solemn vow to you all my fellow deadpoolers I will not ever put this fraudster on any of the pools that I opt to play in now or in the future. Trying to get a hit here is like expecting a dog to win a race with just three legs.

My my @Lafaucheuse you are getting carried away. Francoise Hardy is hit number 12.

Bob Newhart should certainly not be discounted too. Never rule out the potential of a surprise with a name that none of us are expecting imminently such as Hans Blix or Patricia Routledge.

Sonny Rollins, Sly Stone, Joe Bugner, Denis Law, Josef Fritzl along with the names I suggested a few posts above (Woodward, Brokaw, Flack, Rantzen, Starmer-Smith, Baxter and Gall) that could provide hit successes.
