@ebless hasn't been active on here since 2021. Someone else will need to take over the list, and I already have too many that I'm maintaining so I nominate someone else do it. From the original list, I can see only one update? That's the death of Dennis Taylor from Kool & the Gang. I can't see Marilyn (wiki) making old bones. 62 now, last made an appearance in a 2021 documentary. Was a serious heroin addict from the mid-80s to the mid-2000s, and quite frankly it's miraculous he's still alive. One to watch.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Dallas Long (wiki), U.S. Olympic champion in shot put (1964 Tokyo), dead at 84.

There are 4 versions – 1984, 1989, 2004, 2014. They need to let this die. It wasn't a good song then, it's even worse now. It makes me grit my teeth and cringe when I hear it as it has "white saviour" written all over it. "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?" Well probably mate, they're malnourished, not thick. It's even more out of touch when you consider many of the people from the affected regions were Muslims or had traditional tribal beliefs.

Lou Donaldson and Roy Haynes both gone in a matter of days... These things happen in 3s...

Thanks Gisooo. The Glamour Girls website seems to be down for me. I also tried it in a private browser. It seems to be down quite a lot.

Cancer is normally a peaceful death. Horrible end of life experiences tend to come from things like Parkinson’s, motor neurone disease, Alzheimer’s etc. Esther just loves a bandwagon. If she wants it that bad she should go to Switzerland and be done with it. Even in her dying days she’s got to be a social justice warrior for something.

Do you really have fellow countrymen called Bent?

I still think there’s a good chance he’s alive. Look at what happened with bin Laden’s son. Resurrected after years of being assumed dead. Better to be safe and not award points unless there is confirmation from a Hamas official IMO.

Great movie.

What a way to spend your life.

Times death notice for Lady Adela Christopher, aged 105. Wife of Lord Christopher, who is the last survivor of WWII still sitting in Parliament. If Lord Christopher lives until April, he'll turn 100.

Paul Engelen (wiki), British make-up artist, dead at 75. Perhaps best known for his work on Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, but also twice Oscar nominated (Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein). Also did the make-up on The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Pink Floyd – The Wall, Little Shop of Horrors (1986), Gladiator, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Die Another Day, Tomb Raider, Kingdom of Heaven, Casino Royale, The Three Musketeers, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Batman (1989), Empire of the Sun, Wrath of the Titans, Hercules (2014), Quantum of Solace, Robin Hood (2010), Munich, Troy, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) and The Hours. What an incredible career! EDIT: Times death notice

Updates today suggesting she's deteriorated further, and that more members of the Imperial Royal Family have travelled to be at her bedside. This is the end, and we're talking days. Incredibly selfish of her not to hold on just another few weeks for the Advent Avalanche.

David Hill (wiki), New Labour political advisor, dead at 76 from pneumonia, and straight to a Times obit. Succeeded Alastair Campbell as Downing Street Director of Communications in 2003 and remained there until 2007.

Cheers for the update. Last time I saw him was in 2021/2, not too long before he retired from the House of Lords. He looked like Skeletor then, but he was still walking (albeit with a stick). Didn't think he'd last this long. If he's still out and about then there's a good chance he'll see 94 in March. However, I wouldn't support dropping him from the list.

Speaking of breaking records, you're like a broken record. Change the tune. The majority of people disagree with you. If it bothers you this much then go and create your own deadpooling website.

Being used as a source over on Wiki atm, but Wordpress is technically banned (it's a blog), so can potentially get removed. Need something stronger.

Here's what @maryportfuncity's list now looks like. These guys are dying faster than WWII veterans. I can't find a single thing online about Philip Green. Who is/was he?

Lou Donaldson (wiki), American alto saxophonist, died yesterday aged 98. No obits yet but tributes galore on Facebook, including confirmation from Ronnie Scott's. Edit: Obit

Marianne Bernadotte Rita Bibeau Walter Bingham Bo Bjelfvenstam Ip Chun Erich Conrad Marilyn Cotlow Teresa Cunillé Kaiti Grey Ted Hartley Krishnaveni (maybe dead) Roberto Ledesma Roberto Mauri (maybe dead) Jane Morgan Christy Palmer Cécilia Paroldi Donald Pelmear Priscilla Pointer Maria Riva Georges Rivière (maybe dead) Eva Marie Saint Fada Santoro Rolf Schimpf Walter Schultheiss Yatsuko Tan'ami Alice Toen Meta Velander Pia Velsi Anne Vernon Laurie Webb Woody Woodbury There's still quite a few.

Tbf, he's done nothing wrong. Just cos he pisses other members off is not grounds for suspension. I'm sure I too piss a lot of ppl off on here, but I know where the line is. He'd probably say that if he's winding ppl up that much maybe they are the ones who should step away for a while. On a personal note I'll say this – a quick glance on Twitter, FB and Instagram shows a lot of Brits, and indeed Europeans, getting really wound up by Trump's re-election. My view – if you have time to post big energetic rants about an election in a foreign country on your social media, you have no real life problems. Good for you, but maybe time to go get a real life.

Indian Express and Zee News now running with it.

I'm going to beg to differ and say he doesn't look good. He's got the "obese man on borrowed time" look that Salmond had. The below video is from 4 days ago. Moore was 100% confident that Trump was going to "lose big", and he even wrote a very arrogant article up on his website about the high women turnout and how they were getting their "revenge" etc. I've never been a fan of Moore but I never thought he was a crank – often his predictions were accurate, his commentary quite rational. However, he seems to have declined mentally as well – nothing he has to say now is of any substance. He just rants. Tbh, I didn't think he'd see 70, especially as he's had a brush with death before now (I think it was pneumonia??) but I'll actually stick my head out this time and make a prediction that he'll die before 75. Last film he made was in 2019, and his media appearances are becoming seldom. He doesn't look well to me, and his voice is weak.

Not sure if we revisited this but Glenn Campbell stopped treatment for his cancer in May. He's acknowledged that the brain cancer will eventually kill him, but he "hopes" he has many years yet. I wouldn't suggest picking him for 2025, but as he's a big name in Scottish broadcasting I think we should prompt ourselves to revisit him in a year or two from now.
