On the other hand... all are equal in death.

My newspaper had a story on Dorothy Ellis, the last surviving World War I veteran widow in England, who is merely 92 years old. A little googling learns me she's been mentioned in the guardian and daily mail as well, so she might be obit-worthy.

It's nice to see aznavour back on the list (though he seems to be in good shape), mainly because it improves the chance to see Leo Beenhakker back on the list in a few years.

Doing a cameo while Stephen Colbert dances to Get Lucky.

Is she still dead?

Are there any? Leonard Cohen!

How about an extra forum for former deathlist picks?

Queen Fabiola of Belgium is too weak to take part of the King's Fest festivities next week. Might be a great candidate for next year.

RIP... But his death did make it to the news-headpage of the dutch Teletext, that's some claim to fame!

He looks like christopher lee.

<p> <br /><br /> Nah, gonna raise an objection on that one: I remember Randi being on British TV all the time as a nipper back in the 80s, I'm sure he used to do Aspel and Wogan and shit. Plus his endless dedication to trolling Uri Geller, combined with his One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, means he's a legit celebrity. Not a "BREAKING NEWS CANCEL EASTENDERS" when he dies death, but he'll get a BBC obituary.<br /> <br /><br /> I didn't watch much telly during the 80s. The only person I remember accusing Geller of being a glorified magician was Ali Bongo. I see Randi has a big enough Wikipedia spread but that's hardly a fame test. I'd put him with Ruby Muhammad and Fergie Frederiksen as "not worthies" in what should be an unimpeachable fame test. Anyway it's all academic since the committee does as it likes as always. I'm still a banana. Your Casandra Jardine DDP pick is better known IMHO.<br /> Randi was mentioned in the (dutch) Hitchens-obituary i read 2 weeks ago, and is quite a celebrity on the internet, so he does pass my test (Frederiksen didn't).</p>

Nope... you can check http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1084&st=90 (and hopefully someone will have enough determination to update that list once again)

Dead.

Too bad I wasn't aware of this great (...) Beatles cover until a few days before his death... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykm1KWTfObE (i've seen him performing in the Heineken Music Hall, which was quite intriguing. The late Arne Jansen sang as well)

He was on my list a few years ago: http://www.panzerfaust.org/?p=4584

Might be if she falls very ill, Zsa Zsa and Liz Taylor among others are testament to that That would mainly depend on her husband (and he died last year).

I read on the German Wikipedia he's now one of the five oldest German men alive.

More and more I get the idea the Prince is making this all up.

He didn't get attention for a week, so it was about time...

I vote for Taylor, but i guess it will be a photofinish with Gabor, Biggs (???) and Franklin (?????)

That 'prince' is a rather interesting/sad/intruiging chap. He updates his own website pretty often, but mainly with coverage by other media of his own behaviour. Look for example at his gallery of arcticles about him glueing his eyes. If that's something he's proud of, i'm really curious what the rest of his daily routine will be like.

1 less max (on my birthday, how kind!)

José Saramago, winner of the Literature Nobel Prize in 1998 and writer of Death with Interruptions (in which people stop dying and start to get much more worried) had died, aged 87. Quite surprised nobody mentioned him in their DDPteam.

Rudy Kousbroek just died. That's sad, because he was on my to-do deathlist for next year (because i totally forgot to make one this year), and now it's too late...

Dennis Hopper, because he's already almost forgotten, DL-wise.
