Can anyone help with this one? England cricketer Mary Johnson (wiki) is on my watchlist on Wiki. Someone just edited her page today to say she died on 17 Jul 2017 (aged 92). Can't find confirmation for this anywhere. Sadly you can't search in the GRO by first name alone. I'm not sure if Johnson was her married name or not? How would we go about confirming this one?

Phillips, Owen, Treacher, McCafferty, Rothschild. And the day's not over yet! Still got the political death of the Democratic Party to come.

Dead at 92. BBC obit.

RIP. Just two left from their iconic chart storming lineup now.

Sidney Poitier KBE Monica Vitti Gail Halvorsen Tom Parker June Brown OBE Tom Smith Jean-Louis Trintignant Frank Williams Larry Storch Dame Olivia Newton-John Mikhail Gorbachev Bill Turnbull Dame Angela Lansbury Jimmy Millar Jerry Lee Lewis Leslie Phillips Ding dong! 16/50

Facebook post reporting the death of Michael Butler (wiki) at the age of 95. Theatre producer behind “Hair”. Edit: I see he was on Richard Nixon’s enemies list. Can’t be many survivors from that list surely? Would make an interesting thread if anyone can be bothered.

And about to get worse. I can’t see Aston Barrett surviving 2023.

Admiral of the Fleet Michael Boyce, Baron Boyce (wiki) dead at 79. Chief of Defence Staff, 2001–2003. Advised the British Government on the deployment of troops for the '03 invasion of Iraq. Member of the House of Lords since '03. Telegraph obit.

In 2007, Channel 4 compiled a public poll of their top 100 stand-ups, which they then aired in a four hour long programme on the network List is available here. Interesting to see who's still around and who's gone. See spoiler below.

That’s a solid start.

Yeah, it's an exact match: Name: Sharyn Lynne Kamrath [Sharyn Lynne Payne] Social Security #: 558624669 Gender: Female Birth Date: 30 Aug 1945 Birth Place: California Death Date: 26 Aug 1986 Death Place: San Diego Mother's Maiden Name: Driggs Father's Surname: Payne

On further inspection, the same channel has killed off Gladys Knight and Celine Dion in the past few hours. So 100% a hoax.

I mean MJF tweeted from his own account 6 hours ago…

Doris Margaret Anderson (wiki) dead at 100.

Finally solved Billy Fox (wiki). His wedding notice from 1947: His death notice from 1986: Did in January 1986, aged 59, after years spent in a mental institute. Sucks to be Sir Cunto who has him picked in a pool this year! Edit: This means every opponent of Jake LaMotta who has a Wiki page is deceased.

Here's a new 1920 name for you – Jang Bahadur Singh (wiki), folk singer and wrestler.

As I suspected, Guardian obit.

Bob Ellicott (wiki) dead at 95.

Swiss-Italian actor Paul Muller (wiki) is indeed deceased. The Italian Westerns blog covered this issue in August, and they give their source as Peplum Paradise, a group of film historians on Facebook. The National Library of France have updated their entry with the same death info on his profile. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me! A past DDP pick I believe. Also on at least one shadow list this year!

Khamtai Siphandon please

Uzzi Ornan (wiki) dead at 99. First death notice on this page is him.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero? One day I aspire to emulate your beautiful use of words.

It’s definitely a troll.

Updated @ladyfiona's Gunsmoke lists for the cast and crew who are all 80+ now with age changes and deaths. 18 deaths in 18 months – pretty brutal!

IMDb has always put pages up for upcoming shows and films with cast listings though. But they shouldn't be added names that are speculated / not confirmed. The site is getting worse IMO. Hopefully Elon Musk will buy it and sack everyone.
