Hoax. Belfast Telegraph confirm Ricky McEvoy is alive and well, and that news of his death was a "sick joke".

Some good news on this front. British ballerina Pauline Clayden (wiki) has just been moved into the Living People category on Wiki as a an article has appeared confirming she is alive and just turned 100! Also, The Royal Ballet Twitter account have also noted it:

Charles Duncan Jr., former U.S. Energy Secretary and Deputy Defense Secretary under Carter, died in Houston, Texas today according to his Wikipedia page. Doesn't appear to be vandalism. The editor seems to have a close connection to the Duncan family judging from his past edits. Incredible that DL gets intel on U.S. Cabinet Secretary deaths before the media does in 2022. No wonder journos read this forum... Could still be nonsense ofc... let's see.

Announcement on their official Facebook page here from 10th July. You should get on Facebook @YoungWillz, you'll get yourself Connected

American composer/conductor Thomas Sleeper (wiki), dead at 66 from ALS. A pick on several pools on here.

I presume this is the same record Goldberg has already seen though.

Kathleen Booth gets her well deserved Times obit.

Peter Butler (wiki), English professional golfer, dead at 90. Won the PGA Close Championship in 1963 and the French Open in 1968. Oldest surviving Great Britain and Ireland Ryder Cup player. DDP pick.

He was 102. There's no confusion. They use a different calendar system in Nepal, and they consider you to already be "one year old" from the time you're born.

Ralph Pearson (wiki), American chemist, supposedly died on October 12th, aged 103. Can't see any obits yet. So many names left from 1919 on EN Wikipedia. Surely that can't sustain itself for much longer?

Considering the same user edited Tory politician Chris Patten's page a few days ago to say that he had become a member of a pop group after the remaining members of Girls Aloud "founded the BBC in 2022", I think the chances of it being legit are... hmmm... zero?

Tweet reporting the death of Crispa Redmanizers and Detroit Spirits player Cyrus Mann (wiki), aged 66, from COVID-19.

Done. Thanks.

It's definitely him. The same record on Ancestry gives a middle name of Leonard, says he was born in NY and various corresponding records detail his army service during WWII. This newspaper cutting from 1983 gives a lot of details about him, including army service, where he came from and his middle name, and they all match perfectly.

Lincoln City / Rotherham Utd. player Dave Smith (wiki) died in late September, aged 74. Death seems to have gone unnoticed until now (his Wiki page was only updated today), probably over the confusion with Dave Smith (b. 1933, wiki) who also died in September. If your surname was Smith, god knows why you'd call your child "David", "John", "James" etc...

Not dead but CNBC did publish a premature obituary last week. He's 81. The media may know something we don't?

Guardian obit, written by his more noted brother. Seems he died of lung and brain cancers and was 74.

Hopefully you don’t have their genes as 67 and 73 are not old ages!

Heart attack.

@Octopus of Odstock, thanks. I've added both Billy Watson and Paul Herman to dead certs. @CaptainChorizo, thanks. Added Chor Yuen to possibilities, and Manuel Ojeda to dead certs. I can't however see Axel Jodorowsky being included. Fairly big film, but not Hollywood, and his only notable role. I've also added Robbie Coltrane to dead certs, and Ted White to possibilities. Just can't see them including Jan Rabson, even if he was one of the lead dubbing voices in Akira. Edit: I've also added Max Julien and June Preston to dead certs. James Olson, Gregory Itzin, Roger E. Mosley and Gene LeBell have been added to possibilities.

Trololololol. These Indians/Nepalese and their "improving statuses". Discharged to the morgue.

Ah, it was posted on Shitter like that.

Deadpooling 2 for the price of 1. New pic with Elton. Will both survive 2023?

He was 68 and committed suicide. His later stage name was "Stevie Ze Suicide".
