    This death feels significant.

     

    When I joined this forum in 2008 there were plenty of people around who were born in 1907 (the birth year of the new oldest living person).

    Now there is only two - Maria Morera and Fusa Tatsumi. 
     

    Ethel Caterham is now the second oldest women in Europe behind Morera and the oldest Brit is now older than the oldest French person.

    Well, that's why I picked him for the DDP.  The particular cancer he has is quite nasty so if it has spread, the poor lad's in trouble.

    Also the fundraiser has a feeling that maybe there is not a cure for him on the horizon just life extending chemo.

    He was picked again, by the same team as last time. Fascinating enough story I would've been annoyed if he was LotM!

    Through as of now he is heading towards the LotL as I can’t find a Q/O.

  4. She has gotten a couple of mentions on tomorrow’s front pages which means she certainly had the status to be included. Maybe next year the list will include Sophia Loren?(Who as a mistress of Cary Grant would provide a connection to the person’s whose death trigged the list.)

  5. Its a very rare type of blood cancer called Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia. He had chemo a couple of years ago and it went into remission but now it’s back. He hasn’t yet announced his retirement at the next election

    Isn’t the German paedophile (Bruckner or something like that ?) the main suspect for it ?  
     

    I tried John Cannan in the AO pool but he wasn’t accepted. I can see him being in several DDP thème though

    He is but I’m not entirely convinced of his guilt.

    What happened to Suzy Lamplugh?

     

    The police fingered John Cannan for it. The CPS disagreed but the police have effectively closed the case.  There is no evidence in the public domain to connect Cannan to Suzy.

    I would like to know that as well.
     

    I wonder if anyone picked John Cannan for any pools as apparently he is receiving palliative care. 
     

    I would also like to know what really happened to Madeleine McCann. And what happened to Lord Lucan.
