    The Dead of 2021

    Couldn't find a fitting place for this even though there likely are many threads for what Zoopark has played: rock and roll, blues rock, rhythm and blues, garage rock, punk rock... Anyways, Zoopark's guitarist Aleksandr Khrabunov is dead: https://www.fontanka.ru/2021/09/01/70111790/ Zoopark was one of the founding groups of the Russian rock movement. The group was started in 1981 and lasted until 1991, when singer-songwriter and band leader Mile Naumenko died in his flat aged 36 from a cerebral hemorrhage caused by alcoholism and an accident. Atleast four members of the band are still living.

Anyways, the only candidate was Alar Karis, 63-year old biologist and National Museum head. He won the election.

    While checking on people related to Red Rum, the horse who was on the Deathlist in the 1990s and was a hit in 1995: Red Rum's breeder, Martyn McEnery seems to have died off our radar in May 2019 aged 88 (atleast I can't find a post mentioning his death anywhere. Checked his first name, surname and the Horse Racing thread) https://www.racingpost.com/bloodstock/red-rums-breeder-martyn-mcenery-dies-at-the-age-of-88/378920 Red Rum's trainer Ginger McCain died in 2011 and this was reported here. Owner Noel le Mare is certainly dead as he was said to be "elderly" in the 1970s, already died in 1980 according to some pages. Rum's late 70s jockey Tommy Stack is still living, 76 in November.
