Death Impends

Chief In-spectre Dreyfus?

Quite sorry to hear of your losses, unusual that so many happen at once.

John has suffered a heart attack after he was arrested by Guatemalan authorities. http://abcn.ws/VKfAwl Your anti-virus can't help with that, John...

Oscar now resides in a trash can.

Went with Patty Andrews

Liz must have made a deal with the Devil long ago. She'd get to live to 103 but have to give birth to a new Satan as a result.

Shame to hear about Brubeck. Has been quite a year for musical deaths.

I'd regard him as someone in the "probably will get a DDP-worthy obit but lacks the DL-level recognizability" camp.

Further deteriorating. Doubt there's many more declines he can handle...

Koch is in the hospital again, this time due to a respiratory infection.

He's more or less in the same state as the last report: Lucid but not improving

Richard C. Trimble, who with his dad created the "I Like Ike" button.

Lindsay's intake is probably still a lot less than what Boris Yeltsin's was. Kind of like the amount of years she'll live

Almost a year after this post, Hayes is now cancer-free.

Can't say I've ever dealt with them but certainly sounds irritating. It's pretty rare that a pest looks rather nice, usually it's repulsive bugs and whatnot.

For me the upcoming'll be my first year in. Will be aiming high as well.

Abe Vigoda will always be my favorite comeback.

Interesting article on the hospitalizations of Dole and GHWB. Posting it in here rather than Bush's thread since it suggests a grimmer outlook for Dole due to the haziness surrounding his condition.

Months after Katherine Jackson laughs off stroke claims, Joe Jackson suffers a mild one. I wouldn't be too sad if it was fatal but it seems he'll recover.

Wouldn't doubt it.

In hospital again

Shared the prize with E. Donnall Thomas and died only a month after him. That's almost certainly the shortest timespan between deaths of people who shared a Nobel.

Turns out he choked on roach parts...

I'm fine with the structure we have now. I could get used to the suggested rearrangement but I don't see an inherent need to change.the structure. If one wants to browse dead names, they can just check the "dead" tag... No real need to separate the dead and alive to different sections. On the subject of guest posting I don't mind guests all that much. I might just be hard to annoy but I find it very rare that I'm actually irritated by a guest... no real harm in allowing them to post though I can understand the reasoning for the opposite perspective.

Putting the wing in Ewing... Hagman's carked it. Even though I knew of his illnesses I thought he'd have lasted a bit longer.
