    The Dead Of 2013

    Please, there really is no need to combust on my account. Try to remain calm at all times. I read that ZZ wasn't doing too well last September, so I thought I'd give him a run out in my team. I'm a bit worried about his obit chances though. You were saying?

    Star Wars Deaths

    Stuart Freeborn, Star Wars' make-up artist, who designed Yoda, Chewie, Jabba and others, has died aged 98, according to the BBC's Lizo Mzimba. A (joker) hit for Wretched Hive of Scum & Villainy.

    Reg Presley

    Indeed. He was there right up until New Year's Eve, untill I convinced myself 'no news means he's fine'. Ah well, wasn't going to win anyway...

    Nguyen Khanh died on January 11, but nothing beyond a Vietnamese BBC obit.

    Political Frailty

    Vietnam's former military ruler Nguyen Khanh has died aged 85. A hit for Colonel Kilgore, pending an English-version of that BBC obit.

    David Bowie

    Well he's been rumoured to have had liver cancer for years, though as far as I know, noting has ever been confirmed.

    2013 DDP Dumping Ground And Salvage Lot

    Reg Presley - Resolution for next year: ignore my brain. I nearly didn't pick Jardine either. Vincent Bugliosi - Probably will regret this as well but no health information after the initial TMZ report Thor Hansen - Poker player with terminal cancer, though apparently recovered enough to take part in the WSOP last year. Obit pretty doubtful. Julie Newmar - Sounds incredibly bleak on her blog

    You and me both. Eh, I'll take my chances. He seemed pretty bleak in his interview.

    Derby Dead Pool 2013

    Right, that's enough over-analysing and last-minute changes I'll probably regret. All in. No Mandela, Misch or Biggs and I've probably fallen for some Lee Evans gambits, but in the words of Bush Jr.: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." And thanks to TMIB for all the hard work; much appreciated.

    Leonid Stadnyk (And Other Tall People)

    In my check-ups on the health of my current picks for next year's DDP, it seems that Yao Defen sadly died on November 13th. Google translates... Though it seems to have been confirmed here. Of course, nothing even approaching points-worthy obituary status, but there we are.

    The Chequered Flag

    I picked him after by chance reading an article saying he had to miss an award ceremony due to ill health. A real shame.

    Well after eight years on the run, causing him to miss the funerals of both his parents, Adam Barker has finally been caught and charged with child porn offences.

    He said he was going to die soon back in 2009, and he's now taken matters into his own hands. Soul Train host Don Cornelius commits suicde aged 75.
