    MMMDP Form Guide #13 Amarildo (footballer) Suffering from Alzheimer's disease, throat cancer and suffered a stroke recently that hospitalized him. That being said, Brazilian footballers tend to remain in poor health but just not die, so think carefully.

    Coin/Banknote Collecting

    I'm more of a general collector than a true coin collector, but my aunt is. She has lived in 3 countries, travelled to several more and in this period of time she's managed to build a pretty vast collection, mostly UK and USA coins but from other countries too. I recall these following mentioned coins being some of her personal favorites. 1736 George II Ireland "Hibernia" half penny 1757 George II silver 1 penny. 1787 George III silver shilling. 1845-O "Seated Liberty" U.S Half dollar. 1849 King Willem III Netherlands 10 cents - First year. 1992 Olympics Commemorative U.S half-dollar - Apparently another collector gave my aunt that commemorative coin after learning she was actually there in Barcelona for the Olympics opening ceremony. 2017 Elizabeth II Platinum Wedding £5 silver proof - Max limit of mintage 15,950, don't know the actual number minted. This I think is one of the rarer coins she has. I'll be visiting her soon to take a proper look at her collection this time around and ask her if she's added anything new.

    MMMDP Form Guide #4 Giorgetto Giugiaro Out of the two dozen or so legendary Italian car designers and engineers from the 1960s, around eight of them have died in the last 3 years. More importantly though, why wouldn't you want to pick a man with as awesome a name as Giorgetto motherfucking Giugiaro instead of all your average John Smiths and James Carters.

    Names we dislike

    Bradley/Brad for me. It seems every Bradley or Brad I encountered is a cunt in some kind of way. One Bradley in particular I knew in university, who I not so fondly nicknamed "The Tormentor" as that's all he really seemed to do asides from behaving like a total prick. Fucking loathed that man.

    One of the last few 1962 World Cup Winners left. The others being Mengalvio - Don't know of any health issues, but has looked half dead for years. Jair da Costa - Latest update on him was on his 80th birthday, 3 years ago. Couldn't find anything on him since. Pepe (Jose Macia) - This YouTube interview seems to be his most recent appearance and he appears well.

    DL Status Updates: Statements, Obsevations & Verbal Tennis

    Will be visiting Kennedy Space Center on May 31 - June 1 to coincide with the 2024 U.S Astronaut Hall of Fame ceremony. I've not gone to KSC in a very long time and I don't know how the admission process is now and if the HOF ceremony is included in that, so I doubt I'll get to see it close enough to observe the astronauts. I should however be able to meet astronaut Tom Jones on the 31st, get my copy of his book "Sky Walking" signed and maybe have a chat if I'm lucky. I may know a lot about astronauts but I've never actually met one so it's going to be a great day either way.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Don't think that's him. However in your site I did find one Daniel Vigneau born in 1952 and dead in 2022, who could potentially be the same TGV crew member in the 1990 attempt.

    Deadpool Detective Work

    Back when I was a lad and YouTube was barely a thing, one video I have fond memories of is the French TGV speed record attempt that took place in 2007. It was a video that fascinated me then and still does today. I decided to watch it again the other day, this time to figure out more about the 3 crew members, other personnel involved and their current whereabouts. Found out in a French article that the lead driver and engineer (center of this photo) is SNCF driver Eric Pieczac, who was born in July 1960 and would be 63 now. Next to Pieczac on the left of the photo is SNCF traction engineer Georges Pinquie (around 70 assuming his age in this article is correct) who has since retired. Pieczac and Pinquie are definitely alive and well, both men attending mainly the "SNCF Patrimoine" (basically French railway heritage) events. The man on the right of the photo wearing glasses is SNCF traction supervisor Claude Maro who I would reckon is in his 70s as well especially as he apparently was there during the 1990 TGV world record attempt, I've found absolutely no information on Maro asides from that. Assuming he's alive as I don't think the French media would miss if one of their TGV record personnel died. Additionally the other two crew members in the 1990 record attempt are Michel Massinon who died in 2015 at the age of 69, and Daniel Vigneau who I haven't found any info on. The at the time Minister of Transport Michel Delebarre was on board the train for that attempt as well, he died in 2022. There was also an Aerospatiale Corvette jet that chased and monitored the train, shot a lot of the video footage actually. Couldn't find who the pilot was. If any French DLer here has more info or can find any more leads, let me know.

    My wife is the only person I've told about my interest in deadpooling, since she herself is interested in predicting deaths albeit of the fictional character kind (her most recent hit? Gambit of the new X-Men miniseries). I do have a network and maybe some of my friends might have an idea but I can't say.

    They couldn't have casted a better man to play Captain Smith, and his role as King Theoden is legendary. RIP.

    The Chequered Flag

    To be fair he's done 3 things that usually attract the kind who will do it for life (race car driver, pilot and business owner), so with that in mind it is understandable why he would want to keep going.

    The Chequered Flag

    There's an interview of Paul uploaded in 2023, I don't know when it was recorded though. Paul himself claims to be in good health though he looks horrible, barely able to open his eyes.

    Cliff Jones is apparently active on X/Twitter and seems to be doing well enough. Trevor Edwards on the hand is off the radar, I could find no info on him newer than article dating back to 2012.

    The Chequered Flag

    Surprised this hasn't been mentioned here already but former IndyCar racer and broadcaster Wally Dallenbach Sr. died on April 29th, had a decent racing career but is probably better known for being the father of the more successful race car driver Wally Dallenbach Jr. https://sports.yahoo.com/former-indycar-racer-cart-chief-014038948.html

    Announcing "deathlist.net Members" Own Death

    Just checked, it was a fellow by the name of @Bennett_Cerf and he claims a 1942 birth year not 1941, my mistake. Would be 82 if still around.

    Announcing "deathlist.net Members" Own Death

    Wasn't there some old poster from the 2000s here claiming a 1941 birth year? Assuming they were genuine about their birth year (possible since it was an old account) and still alive they would be 82/83 now.

    King Charles III

    I have both too, but I'll probably have to take collecting Charles coinage more seriously if he's going to die sooner than expected.

    Alan Alda

    New interview last month (a good portion of it talks about his Parkinson's and perspectives on death). He seems quite stricken by Parkinson's now, shaking throughout the video. Probably in the end stage now.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2025

    It's actually disturbing how little the U.S government seems to care about their military getting exposed to toxic substances (Agent Orange, radioactive materials, asbestos, burn pits etc.). I know a U.S Iraq war veteran that was exposed to burn pits. Now in his early 50s, survived skin cancer and has COPD and liver disease. He has a twin brother and 2 siblings who are perfectly healthy. He's been trying to fight for 100% disability but the V.A has been giving him a hard time as you might guess.

    Shadow DeathList Competition 2024

    I respect your decision. Jay-Jay Solari would be my 1st sub in line. With what you describe, I'm pretty certain Ike Schab would fall to this rule as well. Although he is not the last Pearl Harbor survivor by any means, his rise to fame kind of happened because he had a wish to return to the harbor for the 80th anniversary of the attack (he subsequently returned for 2022 and 2023 as well). Depending on how you feel, I can retire Schab and have my 2nd substitute George Eastham come in place.
