His brother announced through his Twitter page that he passed away on Wednesday, so a 2025 death. EDIT Now that I think of it I should've posted this in the DDP25 thread, sorry!

GM Robert Hübner reportedly dead.

Made some of my most beloved tracks (Gimme Little Sign especially), I'm actually heartbroken.

Congratulations @gcreptile!

And furthermore listed Julie Goodyear as the only actress on the list, as Saint, Hedren, Routledge, Scales, Woodward, Dickinson and Novak are all actors for some reason.

Congratulations Thatcher!

After sitting out 2023 and 2024 DDP, this year I've sent in two teams (although I'm rather sceptical when it comes to some of the obit chances in the theme one). LW's Czech Out Steve McMichael (joker) Lina Medina Buzz Aldrin Václav Klaus Jan Švankmajer Jesse Jackson Barbara Buttrick Peter Yarrow Asma al-Assad Richard "Black Bart" Harris Ed Kemper Ian Smith Michael Eavis Harvey Weinstein "Jake The Snake" Roberts Wendy Williams Dick Cavett José Mujica Roberta Flack Chris Hoy LW's Latest Hit Roberta Flack (joker) Marty Wilde John Sheahan Garnet Mimms Clarence Carter Sam Moore Cindy Birdsong Wanda Jackson Judy Collins Barry McGuire John McNally Peter Yarrow Paul Stookey Mike Stoller David Allan Coe Ian Hunter Marianne Faithfull Rod Argent Johnny Mathis Jerry Butler

Watch out @Lafaucheuse, you haven't included any subs and you still have King Jimmy in the first place of your posted list.

May president Carter rest in peace.

Whoops, sorry about that! I was rather busy lately, so I can see how I managed to screw that one up. If possible, I'd rather drop Garrett Morris and make him the first sub, thus removing Bruce Morrow from the substitute list. May I edit him out of my post?

Confirmed by Stoke City FC.

Albert Starr, cardiovascular surgeon who co-invented the first artificial mitral and aortic heart valve, reportedly dead at 98. (1/2)

Thierry Jacob, former french boxer and WBC and EBU bantamweight title holder, reportedly dead at 59.

Frank Kendrick, 1975 NBA champion with Golden State Warriors, reportedly dead at 74.

Received a cake from his management team...while in hospital (possibly for his heart issues, as he reportedly had a heart failure last year). He may be living fast, but he's definitely not fasting.

Both Conan O'Brien's parents died this week. His father on the 9th (95), and his mother on the 12th (92).

Norman Bodell, former Rochdale and Crewe Alexandra defender, dead at 86.

Former Iowa Rep. Jim Leach, who after 45 years broke with Republicans to register as a Democrat in 2022, dead at 82.

9x All-Star player Rocky Colavito dead at 91 (also a unique DDP pick by the same team who had Amazing Kreskin in it-two unique hits for that team in a matter of hours!)

The Amazing Kreskin (born George Joseph Kresge) reportedly dead on twitter. Also a unique DDP pick.

I've had a draft for my shadowlist since July, so I expected few people to pass before 2025 (although 10 drops seem enough already, with the last three dropping in the span of three days in November ). I still think I'll have some more room before Christmas, but I'd rather finalise it asap, as I'm too concerned with my master's thesis at the moment, but hey, it is what it is . I also wanna try DDP next year, as the last time I played I...well it did not go that well. Working on a music theme, but it would be an understatement to say I'm not struggling with guessing which US musician would get a UK obit or not (looking at you, Tommy Sands and Sam the Sham).
