Skynews and BBC24 showed it over here so not wall to wall but annoying enough when you're waiting to hear about a more local news story.

I'd go for Mark Kennedy Shriver as he's got the Kennedy chin.

Woke up to this news this morning and from the way the BBC reporter was going on you'd have thought the Queen had died. Just a quick comment on the site, is this the fourth death that will be marked as 'details to follow'? I appreciate people are busy, might be ill etc but it is getting frustrating now.

This came as I shock to me as I thought he'd croaked years ago. I really must try and keep up. Like the majority on here I was heartily glad of the brief relief from the Jacko sob fest. The man's been dead three weeks, time to let it go me thinks.

I think they have to be able to spell their name as well as have a fat bank account, otherwise how would they sign all those cheques?

Ohps looks like I've upset a Dai supporter. As for what legacy well to be fair I suppose the one legacy he did leave is showing the world how to have a good time and to hell with the consequences. Sounds like my sort of legacy.

Maybe with all the fuss over Obama's inaugeration they think it is an ideal time to bury bad news. After all today of all days he'll hardly get a mention.

This is true and sod's law could mean he will be the only death of 2009.

I've counted at least ten famous deaths since Jan 1st but only one hit for Deathlist. Don't you sometimes wish you had a crystal ball. All joking aside it looks like it might be a bumper year if things continue as they are, indeed we might be celeb free if it continues at this rate.

Any chance of us having the obit posted anytime soon? I know no one cares about his death, not even Dai himself I suspect, but there are standards to be maintained.

I humbly apologise. Blame it on too much new year cheer.

I have just one comment. WHERE IS CLIVE DUNN? I would not be surprised if the old codger doesn't peg it this year just to spite you.

Wendy Richards is now reportedly not dying. In fact a lot of people think it was all a big put on to get publicity for her wedding. Yes she has cancer and yes it may well have re-occured but she is nowhere near the 'few weeks to live' status given in November. (Bet she'll die tomorrow now just to prove me wrong.)

Amy Winehouse must be a distinct possibility, for much the same reasons as Peaches.

They didn't both die on Christmas day though PS nadolig llawen Both were reported on Christmas Day so I assumed both had died on Christmas Day. Mind you I was overdosing on turkey and wine at the time.

Pity we didn't have Eartha Kitt down, we could have done the double on Christmas Day.

My top five for 2009 Murray Walker Sterling Moss Bruce Forsyth (because if he says 'I am not doddery, doddery I am not' just one more time I'LL kill him). OJ Simpson (somebody is bound to have a pop at him in prison). Dick Van Dyke

I was surprised he didn't get more of a mention but then with the current financial situation I doubt even the Queen would rate more than half a page. OK maybe I exaggerate there but you get my drift. And one last point, as he's been dead over a week when are we going to see Deathlists unique obit on the front page?

I've been on holiday and got quite excited when I read a newspaper report that Liz was going down hill fast. I arrve home yesterday to reports that she's better and preparing to go home. Maybe I should have stayed that extra week.

Yet another person I've never heard of. Great news for the list though, could this be a record year?

Now this is somebody I have heard of. Thought he was great as Dustin Hoffman's frustrated agent in Tootsie. Seemed a nice enough bloke in real life. Such a shame when the nice ones go.

I wonder what the family are thinking of all this. Could it be that he is being kept alive at their request? Or are their wishes being completely ignored? Hard to tell at this stage but no matter how God-like the doctors like to think they are they still, ultimately have to follow the wishes of the family, well in the UK they do.

Thanks.

Thanks to all who contributed to the online petition to stop Nice taking away life saving drugs used in the treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension. In the end we were able to present over 30,000 names to Dowing Street, 10,000 of which came from the online petition. Now it's just a waiting game, we hope to get the final decission before the end of May. Gwyn

Yet another person I'd never heard of. His death hasn't been reported here yet, as far as I know. Has it been confirmed?
