Name was George Martin (little irony for you there), or George William Thomas Martin if you want the full-lengther. Lived in Bristol (Blackthorn Road at the time) and was apparently also 21, the same age as Cochran. He was definitely alive in 1969 when his taxi license was renewed, but other than that....
Googling does bring up people who are convinced Eddie Cochran faked his own death.
I’m bored and reading old threads but the switch theory of celebrities is a rabbit hole I went down once and it really freaked me out for a bit.

Heather Whealer offering a partial defence of him.

The British press gave the reports of terminal cancer too much coverage for it to be totally wrong.
ITV are planning a true crime documentary on him for later this year.
The neighbour was named and identified so if she hears of his death you would expect she would tell the press for example.

Just now, Toast said:I think Constantine was one of William's godfathers.
He was and that fact leads Sky’s obituary of him.

I wonder if King Charles will go to the funeral as they were close.

Who do we think replaced likely inclusions Barbara Walters and Pope Benedict at the last minute? Pete Murray and Andy Taylor?I also think Marianne Faithfull stood in for Pelé's last minute dropout.
I’m not sure Barbara Walters wouid have been recalled.

They got most of it out though. Some "cleaning up is left to do".
I actually considered her at some point last year for my dames team but didn’t even put her a sub depsite the fact she is 90 in a few weeks. If she makes 2024 she will be on it for sure.
In fact depending on her health she could be a contender for the main list - she is famous enough

Just now, ladyfiona said:How is Juan Carlos of Spain's health because I annoyingly put him in one of my pools rather than King of Greece who has now died.
Not at deaths door or anyway that near but he didn’t look that great at the Queen’s funeral.

Well King Constantine is surely a hit.
I wonder if George Pell is a hit or LOTM. He wasn’t picked last Year but he was picked in 2019 maybe other years.

Deaths never comes in 2s...Someone 80 or 83 maybe.

It was a shock to see that when a hour before he was said to be improving.

I wonder when this pool might end actually end.

Worth pointing out that Lunar New Year is a massive time in Thailand so if they are waiting for that, it could be sooner rather than later that they pull the plug.
From twitter;
⚠️ UPDATE — According to royal and medical sources, Princess Bajrakitiyabha is developing acute kidney injury after nearly a month of being kept artificially alive on an ECMO machine.
She has been brain dead since December 14 but her body was kept alive. 1/3
And that’s the 22nd January this year (One of the earliest possible dates it can be.)

Stage three cancer has a slightly higher than 25% five year survival rate. But I think she might have quite a reasonably fast growing version going by how she was clear on all scans and then it returned within months. So I’m not sure she will be making 2026 and the fifth anniversary of her diagnosis.

With Pearl Harbour there are both military veteran survivors and civilians both on the base and outside the base - some civilians were killed outside of military land and thar would include children who witnessed it and might only be 87 or so.

There is a Tik Tok trend of people including celebs being told famous people have died suddenly. I heard about one where the Eastenders actress Diane Parish is told musician Will I Am is dead.

Maybe. The committee seem strict on those type of picks.

1 hour ago, ladyfiona said:John Lydon's German wife Nora Forster has had Alzheimer's since at least 2018. John is her full time carer when he's not performing.
I’m not sure she would make the DDP threshold. She doesn’t really have any fame except through her husband and late Daughter. So I’m not sure she would be eligible for any pool.

Sanford and Son only got a BBC3 run in 2003.
No sign of Maude in the Radio Times archives but again, there's holes in their search engine.
I think the Radio Times archive covers only the BBC so if it was on some regions of ITV it won’t be there.
-
I think he is one of the most obscure in the UK named to ever make it. Many of his sitcoms were never shown here at all - Wiki says Maude was shown on some ITV regions. Was the Jeffersons ever shown?
So, How's Your 2019 Shortlist Looking?
