Shane McGowan's birthday incidentally happens to be on Christmas. Wonder if he'll be a party pooper this year.

Should definitely be on next years list, although I don't see him passing until 2024.

Quite a few members of the Upstairs Downstairs cast have passed away over the past 3 years. Christopher Beeny (Edward Barnes) - Jan. 3, 2020 Nicola Pagett (Lady Elizabeth Bellamy)- March 3, 2021 Brian Osborne (Pearce)-July 2021 Meg Wyn Owen (Hazel Bellamy)-June, 2022 Prior to Christopher Beeny's death, the last cast regular cast member to die was Jenny Tomasin (Ruby) on Jan. 3, 2012.

When the families of Barbara Bush and John McCain announced they were suspending treatment, both died within 48 hours of the announcement.

Sandra Day O'Connor should be added.

Was Lord Carrington the last surviving cabinet minister?

Just wanted to point out, the last two major 1923 celebrities to depart us were Bob Dole and Chuck Yeager, who passed dec. 5, 2021 and dec. 7 2020 respectively. Could the first week of December 2022 provide us with another 1923 hit? If so, I doubt it would be Kissinger.

His appearance reminds me of John McLauhglin, host of the McLaughlin group. McLaughlin died when he was 89, but he hosted his show up until a few weeks of his death. I agree that he could go any time.

Great Insight. Queen had one in 2018, so he very well may last another several years.

Greek Mathematician Menelaus of Alexandria was born in 70 a.d. and died in 140.

Born in 1940, died at 40 (1980) - John Lennon

Apologies. To me the whole point of the deathlist is about big name public figures and celebrities. Not anyone who has a wikipedia page. I'll be more mindful in the future.

I meant figures well known enough to warrant there own thread. Of these four, only William Russell has a thread, but even he has never had a spot on the official list.

Given the political adds he ran this summer for his daughters congressional campaign, I'd consider him a safe drop from the '23 list. Regardless of his health history, he appears to have more than a year left in him.

It just hit me that as of 2022, Phillips and the Queen were the last living British public figures associated with the WW2 war effort. One could argue David Attenborough is of the same generation, but he didn't serve or volunteer during the war.

I think adding him to the official list seems "pitchy".

Also heard he's in arrears with the IRS.

A Christmas time departure for MacGowan would be appropriate given his hit song.

I read on another death list thread a few months back (can't remember which one) that his health was deteriorating. Might be a solid pick for '23.

Interesting to think that between Jan of 1973, and Nixon's resignation, there were no living former presidents.

and Truman passed in Dec of 1972.

I'm so use to the one L cause I had been putting Prince Philip on my list for so long.

Thank you!

Based off the last last photo's released of him, I'd say he has about 7 months left.
