Ernst Albin Fasan, Austrian lawyer, specialized in space law, has died and none of us gave a fuck to mention it on here: https://www.noen.at/neunkirchen/neunkirchen-trauer-um-ernst-fasan-neunkirchen-nachruf-martin-fasan-herbert-osterbauer-print-283162897 http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_F.html#fasane

Ernst Albin Fasan, Austrian lawyer, specialized in space law, has died off the radar in July: https://www.noen.at/neunkirchen/neunkirchen-trauer-um-ernst-fasan-neunkirchen-nachruf-martin-fasan-herbert-osterbauer-print-283162897 http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2021/celebs_F.html#fasane

Frederik Willem de Klerk, last president of South Africa during Apartheid and 1993 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has died aged 85: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-59247115 He was the first Peace Prize laureate to die in 2021 - I expected Desmond Tutu or Mikhail Gorbatshov - and was worth 5.637 points (as African octogenarian Peace laureate from the 1990s). During my calculations, in was unsure whether he was even nominated, only to find out that he was my own candidate. This now puts my own competition in a damned bad light, since I'm now leading the field: 1. @WEP - 5.637 points 2. @Salmon Mousse - 3.836 points 3. @Bibliogryphon - 3.634 points 4. @MariNisia - 2.161 points 5. @TomTomTelekom - 1.826 points 6. @arghton / @Book / @chilean way / @frleon - 0 points But only one hit can change the situation. The contest still goes on until January 31st, the last day, that new laureates can be nominated - for the 2022 Nobel Prizes and the new Nobel Prize Contest 2022/2023!

Congrats @MariNisia

And the deathlist would maybe regret to be the only deadpool not picking her when she dies, wouldn't they?

Working hypothesis: should the Queen appear on the 2022 list? Arguments - She is 95 years old. - She recently lost her husband. - She has been in a hospital "as a precaution" and should continue to take it easy. - She has a son who produces nerve-wracking scandals and a granddaughter-in-law who gives frightening interviews. - There is still a pandemic going on. OK, I'll put her on my long-list.

A person of local "fame" is dead: Siegfried Roland Borchardt, aka SS-Siggi, has finally met his idol Adolf Hitler at the age of 67. Borchardt was an active member of several neo-Nazi groups, lastly the "National Resistance Dortmund", and had multiple legal convictions, which stopped him from entering the political main stage. https://taz.de/Neonazi-Groesse-Borchardt-gestorben/!5805268/ As a politician, he had a short but painful career. Painful for the audience. SS-Sigi was functionary of the later banned right wing party "Freedom German Workers' Party" (Freiheitlichen Deutschen Arbeiterpartei). In the 2014 local elections in Dortmund, he won a seat on the city counci for "The Rigts" (Die Rechte), a neo-nazi-party, but resigned two months later.

TV actor Heinz Lieven has died aged 92. https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/panorama/heinz-lieven-schauspieler-tot-100.html He was best known for his roles in tv series like "Adelheid und ihre Mörder", "Notruf Hafenkante", "Tatort" and "Großstadtrevier". (No need to translate these titles, since none of these series was internationally known.) In 2011 he had a role in "Cheyenne - This Must Be The Place" together with Sean Penn and was guest at the Cannes-festival as well.

A commonly forgotten face of the 1950s and 1960s, Austrian film and stage actress Herta Staal, has died aged 91. https://www.t-online.de/unterhaltung/stars/id_90907454/herta-staal-91-schauspielerin-und-filmstar-der-1950er-und-1960er-ist-tot.html She was one of the last living actresses of the "technically silver but unprofessionally postcoloured" screen-era. She appeared in various shallow, kitschy, romantic Heimat-movies of the post-war period.

A close one: BBC but not co.uk https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-56276324

Franz Trojan, legendary New German Wave drummer has died aged 64. https://www.n-tv.de/leute/Spider-Murphy-Gang-Drummer-Trojan-ist-tot-article22824183.html Trojan was a founding member of "Spider Murphy Gang", whose most famous song was "Skandal im Sperrbezirk" ("Scandal in restricted area" - Trust me, the German version can be shouted out more elegant.) He left the band in 1992 and broke off all contact with the other band members. Maybe one reason why his death was noticed two weeks later.

German right wing politician and physician Axel Gehrke has died aged 79: https://www.stern.de/gesellschaft/regional/afd-bundestagsabgeordneter-axel-gehrke-gestorben-30766964.html During the 1990s Gehrke served as professor for physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Hannover Medical School and as president of the German society for physical medicine and rehabilitation as well. Since 2017 he was member of the federal parliament "Bundestag" for the Euro-critic party "Alternative für Deutschland" ("Alternative for Germany), short AfD. His Wikipedia article says, we won't stand for re-election in September 2021.

1974 physics laureate Anthony Hewish has died aged 97. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2021/09/16/professor-antony-hewish-astronomer-jointly-won-nobel-prize-discovery/ He was the last living laureate of 1974, so his point value is 1.429 - unfortunately, he has not been chosen by any player.

As a Scandinavian by heart it is of course a compliment. I did not want to insult anyone, just to connect my post to the previous one. I had been in Tallin years ago and it reminded me on some Swedish citys I visited. The Estonian language is neither Slavic nor Scandinavian, but due to the similarities to Finnish language, it could be more the second one. Sorry for mixing it up.
