Yes, congratulations indeed. I feel no shame in finishing as the runner-up to @Salmon Mousse. A hell of a list and a hell of a year for you.

And a TMZ obit.

I meant nothing by it. I saw some reputable outlets report it and thought it was worth mentioning here.

Family now acknowledges.

Thanks. I must be looking at old/bogus information.

A few seemingly reputable outlets, including the Mexican MSN, are starting to publish that Vicente Fernandez died early this morning. However, there is no official family confirmation.

Now we are through.

If confirmed, Lee Elder is a hit here.

Phil Saviano, whistleblower/survivor of Catholic clergy sex abuse, dead at 69 from gallbladder cancer. Portrayed in 2015 best picture winning film Spotlight. He entered hospice care in late October and this was apparently announced on his Facebook page.

There’s always next year.

Word going around social media that Eddie Mansfield, pro wrestler who exposed the wrestling business on American television in the 80s, is dead. edit: looking more and more like just unfounded rumors.

I hope we were all writing up our shortlists in pencil.
