2019 Tour De France winner Egan Bernal in horror crash. https://www.foxsports.com.au/cycling/extour-champion-egan-bernal-undergoes-surgery-after-horror-crash-into-bus/news-story/d2d7f4d8bc76c69e0cb50d3b52751d85

Belated congratulations on your victory, Banana.

Gary Rossington, last surviving original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, has had a long history of heart issues (heart attack in 2015, heart surgeries in 2019 and 2021) and has not been talked about that much Also another "last survivor" of a band, Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. He's 71 years old and although he seems to be doing okay, you never know.

NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough has not appeared at all in public since around 2018-2019 and considering he used to attend races and sign fan autographs regularly, this is not a good sign.

Dwayne Hickman is a hit for me.

Dwayne Hickman is a hit and unique pick for me https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/09/obituaries/dwayne-hickman-dead.html

I'm getting more of a feeling about a plane crash which involves a major sports team, I'm thinking a top football club or an international cricket team.

Pele, Sir Bobby Charlton, James Whale and Estelle Harris are excellent choices for newcomers and having Gorbachev and David Attenborough returning as well is a great thing, honestly just about every newcomer/return pick is decent actually. As for removals, I agree with several posters here that dropping Linda Nolan is a huge gamble that might backfire, same thing with Pope Benedict and Barbara Walters as well, I personally feel that Emperor Akihito and David Crosby could have been dropped instead because they seem to be in great health, heck Crosby's former bandmate Stephen Stills is in worse shape than him IMO. The other removals seem to be okay. Overall this seems like a pretty good list, I expect more hits this time, about 14-15.

The DeathList has probably been decided already, but I'm gonna throw one last suggestion before the new year begins and that is astronaut Thomas Stafford, most famous for being commander in the Apollo-Soyuz test project mission. Stafford is 91 and is incredibly frail, can't see him having much longer left.

Yikes, another DL miss. Not long after his close friend F.W De Klerk as well.

Just seen it your list, a very interesting list you got there and I did some scouting to find more information some on these players and found some stuff that needs to be updated. Omar Mendez (Uruguay 1954 and 1962) are the same person born on August 7, 1934. Zoltan Friedmanzsky (Hungary 1958) did an interview in 2014 for a local news channel and this is the video, unfortunately everything is in Hungarian but it's proof that as of 2014 he is still alive. And his birthdate on October 22, 1934 according to his page on Hungary's Wikipedia though it's pretty unreliable. Adolf Scherer (Czechoslovakia 1958) has done an interview on a Slovakian news site just a few days ago, unfortunately the article is paywalled but from whatever I could see he seems to be doing well and he lives in France (though I have no idea for how long he has been there). Braulio Musso (Chile 1962) is mentioned on your list having a birthdate May 24, 1937 but his wikipedia page shows a birthdate of March 8, 1930 and it claims he played from Universidad de Chile from 1951 to 1968 but not just that, some more searching and I find that Braulio Musso has a Facebook Page which he is definitely involved in, and you will find all his posts are about his football days and though he has only shown photos dating back to 1955, he mentions in one post that he played for Universidad de Chile at the age of 21 and that makes the 1930 birth year make more sense because even if he debuted for his club in 1955 he would still be 17/18 with a 1937 birth year.

Speaking of 1958, any updates on the current statuses of the surviving 1958 and 1962 finalists OoO?

About time she got a thread and more mention among Deathlisters. No surprise she got into trouble again, She's basically an unstable nuclear reactor that can explode at any moment (surely either overdose, suicide, accident, maybe get murdered), same thing with Demi Lovato.

Found out that Dabney Coleman is still alive and is nearly 90 years old. Best known for his roles in The Towering Inferno and 9 To 5, but I remember him for his role in the 1983 film WarGames.

I'm down to my final sub as well, can I add 2 more?

To be fair Dian was involved in quite a few controversies with Bob Barker, but Dian Parkinson is probably one of the most famous models of her time and after staying out of the public for many years, suddenly comes out of nowhere putting up her estate for sale in 2019 is to me a dead giveaway something is up with her, and likely not good. Janice Pennington on the other hand definitely seems to be in great shape, this is her in 2017 with her husband Carlos de Abreu at the Hollywood Film Awards, which was founded by de Abreu.
-
Where is Dian Parkinson (Price is Right model)? I know she was a playboy model as well and I've been trying to find information on her for some time now, has not had a public appearance since literally her exit from the Price is Right, though she sold her estate in 2019 leading me to believe she is probably not in the best of health.

The only ones I see having actual DL potential are Marsha and Norman.

I just realized that the cast of some of the early Pixar films are pretty old now and damn it makes me realizes time has gone fast. From Toy Story Wallace Shawn (age 78, voice of Rex) Estelle Harris (age 93, voice of Mrs Potato Head) Plenty of the cast from the first movie is dead already. Don Rickles, Jim Varney, R. Lee Ermey etc. From Finding Nemo Barry Humphries (age 87, voice of Bruce the great white shark) Bruce Spence (age 76, voice of Chum the mako shark) Austin Pendleton (age 80, voice of Gurgle the purple fish) Geoffrey Rush (age 70, voice of Nigel the pelican) From Monsters Inc. John Goodman (age 69, voice of Sulley) Billy Crystal (age 73, voice of Mike Wazowski) From Cars Paul Dooley (age 93, voice actor of Sarge) Michael Wallis (age 76, voice actor of Sherriff) Cheech Marin (age 75, voice actor of Ramone. And yes, this is the Cheech from Cheech and Chong) Michael Keaton (age 70, voice actor of Chick Hicks) Additionally two guest star NASCAR drivers (Richard Petty and Darrell Waltrip age 84 and 74 respectviely) as well as NASCAR promoter and former Charlotte Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler (age 83). And we can't forget Pixar legend John Ratzenberger, who voiced a character in just about every Pixar film, who is 74.

Interesting. I just called my dad and he has told me about all the F1 races he attended. 13 in total. Also attended the Daytona 500 in 2015 and the Indy 500 in 2011. In order 1985 British Grand Prix 1988 German Grand Prix 1992 British Grand Prix 1994 British Grand Prix 2002 British Grand Prix. After taking a long break from attending events to focus on raising his two children he decided to take me and my brother to our first race. Don't have any memories of this. 2006 British Grand Prix. 2008 Spanish Grand Prix 2010 British Grand Prix. This was our 2nd race and my brother and I were racing fans at this time so we enjoyed watching the race. 2013 Hungarian Grand Prix 2015 British Grand Prix 2016 Spanish Grand Prix 2016 British Grand Prix 2017 Russian Grand Prix. We went to Russia for a vacation and attended the race. This was our 3rd race my brother and I attended with dad and our last F1 race as of now Though my dad and I have not been to have of the tracks you want to go to, I definitely think you should see a different round as well. We are also hoping to do the same thing next year, either attend one of the F1 races in the Middle East or the Americas. Right now our race shortlist is Bahrain, Mexico, Canada and Brazil. Also hoping to attend the Indy 500 next year at least (plan to go by myself). EDIT: Confirmed my ticket for the Indy 500. This is gonna be my first Indy 500 and my first time traveling abroad since the start of the rona. -

For those of you who attended F1 races, what has been your most vivid memory of any race? Me and my younger brother attended about 3-4 F1 races in total all with my dad. My dad on the other hand attended way more if I remember, around 10 or 11 races since the 1980s. I enjoyed the races that I attended but don't have any memories that stand out, my dad's favorite memory at an F1 race is the time he was there attending the 1992 British Grand Prix where Mansell won and the fans swarmed to the track because my dad was one of the fans who went on the track to celebrate Mansell's victory.
