and A Kid in King Arthur's Court but I wasn't a fan of the movie

I had to look up who this guy was when he appeared on the list. I didn't know our favorite gym teacher was still kickin' *air guitar*.

It'd be very fitting if Dick expired after tripping over an Ottoman.

 

As much as I am going to lose it when he goes, that would be epic.

Terry Jones also suffered from aphasia and frontotemporal dementia with symptoms first appearing in the summer of 2014, about five and a half years before his death in January of 2020. Willis's symptoms seem to date back to at least January of 2020 during the filming of Hard Kill. If he lasts as long as Jones, he could pass sometime in 2025. Being that Jones was a decade older than Willis at the time of his diagnosis, Willis could last a few years longer with the same diagnosis.

I was just about to say this. He lost his speech years before he died. I could not imagine :'(

[Things To Do While Waiting For Death]

I got 4 things done from my march bingo. I have writing ideas and a ton of tv to catch up on while I do home projects, so I'm either cheerful or hypomanic. I've spent so much time down I forgot normalcy.

Dang that was what I was going to say. The... 5th

[1. Jimmy Carter]

Would it be in bad taste to take bets on the date he goes?

[1. Jimmy Carter]

Him going into hospice means he's going to decline FAST, so it's the beginning of grieving. Everyone has a ton of respect for him because he did so much humanitarian work after his presidency. They want to wish him a happy rest and thank him before he goes, which I can respect. I hope he knows how much people loved him whether they think he was a good president or not.

[Hospitalised!]

NFL player Damar Hamlin had a heart attack on the field yesterday and is in critical condition and sedated. That probably doesn't mean much on here but it's a hospitalization. I hope he makes it though. He's young.

[Ideas and possibilities for 2023]

Ones I don't see on anyone else's list are Jane Goodall, Bill Cosby, Bill Gaither, Richard Simmons, Michael J Fox, John Aston, Russ Tamblyn, Carol Baskin, Gary Busey, Marsha Warfield, Terry Bradshaw, Hulk Hogan, Bruce Willis, and Joseph James DeAngelo.

If it is your own personal shadow list then you can be your own judge but if you are entering it into one of the competition the game runner will advise on eligibility. Expecting to get an English language obituary is the usual criteria 

 

Oh yeah, all of them are US celebrities, just a BIT niche because they are from older shows.

Lance Henriksen (1940) - Looked quite frail in his last big TV thing, I thought, but never had enough room for the Aliens star.

 

Did you see him in The Quarry? I thought he was already gone, so he's on my list as well.

Peter Falk?

He's been gone years, hasn't he?

This is the first year I'm putting together a death list but I'm not sure they are well known in the UK. There were some government officials and TV personas on previous lists I had no idea who they were because I live in the US. Is there a way to find out if they work for the list or should I just submit my first draft and go from there?
