Death Impends

Hello QEIAD, and welcome to the forums. Just letting you know that for future reference, threads pertaining to ill individuals should be created in the DeathList Forum section rather than the DeathList extra-curricular. Additionally, I've merged this thread into the preexisting American Football thread, as I don't sense Dwight Clark being a name who'll receive enough coverage or discussion to warrant a standalone thread. Though there isn't any hard rule for this, there are plenty of more generic profession threads that should be considered to post someone's health in if they aren't going to receive much discussion.

It is the politician:

If only Gord Downie, Leah Bracknell, and Errol Christie were US Congresspeople then picking names here would be much easier

IMO the highlight of David Rockefeller was his face being in a perpetual state of looking like it was about to melt off:

I believe you should be able to click edit on the original post and change the title from there? If you aren't able, let me know of the new title you desire and I can change it for you.

This year's Aherne so far...

Nooo Johnny no...

I do wonder how Lucky Akhand is still going since the report late February on his health sounded like a matter of single-digit days...

Definitely glad I went long on the prick - tbh I'll maintain that view even if he does die, as he'd be only worth 7 points anyway if I did go for him.

The mirror matching of obscurer hits between Cow and I is definitely shaping up to be the most interesting part of this round, and I'm not just saying that because it's involving my end!

Ah, if we're all doing it... Tony Booth - His accumulation of illnesses would make seeing the year out quite impressive... that being said cancer is seemingly the only thing he doesn't have (there was that one tumor but I get the feeling his wife would've mentioned it as cancer by now if it were the case) so he may yet sneak into another year. 80% Leah Bracknell - Doing okay enough to not go in the next few months and has an outside chance of seeing the next year IMO, but most likely a goner this one. 80% Charles Bradley - If I had to swap someone out in hindsight it would be him, especially given I could've gone for someone like Sumner or Wetton who were in the same age bracket but more likely to go (and in Wetton's case, worth more points as it turns out!). But I was also going "wasted pick" for my previous Daptone selectee much of last year, only for Miss Jones to take a nosedive later on. 50% Errol Christie - Lung cancer for nearly two years now, and heading very close to it being a year since he was given a year to live amidst bone metastases. If he sees this year out, I'm going to really have to readjust my jokering tactics especially as it jinxed me out of the title in 2015. 95% Gord Downie - Looked okayish at his most recent public outing but is in the average lifespan ballpark for glioblastoma. 90% Rayya Elias - Still keeping active despite having big bad pancreatic, for nearly a year now at that. Reckon she'll probably be a case where she has to cancel one of her shows due to health concerns and then spirals downhill rapidly within a couple of months. Till then, she's not yet on the clock. 75% Colin Meads - Doing okayish enough that he should see summer, but he's still 80 with pan can so I'd fully expect the disease to take a firmer grasp not long after. 80% King Michael of Romania - Should be a goner this year, though has surprised many with his resilience. 85% Catherine Nevin - Surely any day now? 99% Julia Perez - From what I can tell from snooping her social media and Google translate fu, she's been bedridden in the hospital for the past couple months now and God talk from her is on the uptick. Still a risky obit though, but now that I think of it maybe her social media presence (nearly 13m Instagram followers! even if they are nearly all Indonesian...) means she's not necessarily BBC-or-bust, and Mail/Mirror may well have a chance at covering her demise? 90% death, 50% obit Simon Ricketts - Currently doing okay and responding well to treatment but I always felt he was a "dies late this year or just sees 2018" type so it doesn't particularly surprise me. 50% Stefan Karl Stefansson - A contender for #1 among most likely to see the year out at the moment. His cancer will recur at some point and the decline will be swift after that, but when it happens is the big question... 50% Paul Van-Zandvliet - Recent news on him sounds quite ominous. Would be impressed if he's still here in three months time. 95%

I'll be up for a second round.

Nevin feels like the only real "last legs" name there is at the moment so the next few months should be interesting for the DDP.

Rayya Elias

Paul Van-Zandvliet

Actually he's now on a separate two-week vacation pertaining to certain comments he made in the Room 101 thread.

Poor lady - RIP to her.

She has sadly died.

I did see something a few months back saying he wasn't in the best of shape and couldn't attend a dining event... completely failed to use this knowledge for any deadpool, though.

Added now...

For convenience's sake, if I like a post in this thread listing subtitles, take that as a sign the appropriate subtitles have returned.

Times QO for Drever - http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/scottish-gravitation-waves-pioneer-ronald-drever-dies-cwlsb888w

Theme team's having a good run so far... (or it will once he gets a QO, as the science section of BBC doesn't count for DDP purposes, but he'll definitely get something)
