Ulitzer95

I don’t have one but always been tempted to set up a comedy style one like Mugabe, but I’m way too lazy to be bothered with all the signing in and out between each account.

Mathematician Isadore Singer (wiki) has died aged 96 according to the MIT Mathematics home page. A unique pick in last year's DDP. Be interesting to see if he obits!

Shelley Duvall grants a rare interview, her first in five years. Some new pictures of her in the article. She looks good! 71, quit Hollywood in 2002 and then moved to Texas. Has some demons with her mental health hence her becoming a recluse, but all in all I’d say she should be around for a while yet.

Confirmed.

Good shout. Dead according to both Wikipedia and this forum post (though they have his age wrong, he was 106). Awaiting confirmation ofc.

Hasn’t been picked in the DDP since 2014. A painful miss for the teams who dropped him if he goes unnaturally. Unique + unnatural + age (he’s only 41). That would be a decent point scorer.

Zzzzz. Wish my heart would give out as well. It’d put me out of my misery instead of coming on here expecting to find quality content and instead seeing your daily dose of spam about non-notables. An obscure zoo owner who is about as notable as my left testicle. Outstanding SC. You’ve outdone yourself with that one.

Alrighty but Clive still wants to pay you a visit

Wait. I’m having deja vu. Didn’t he already die and we discussed it at the time, or was I dreaming? Has he gone and died again? Confused much.

Always thought he was a twat. I was like 12 when Viva La Bam came out and even back then I just thought he was a total idiot. Still I feel a bit sorry for him... I know it’s a cliche and an easy thing to do but I blame his parents. From watching that show and Jackass his mum and dad were a bit too liberal and carefree with him. Didn’t once impose any consequences on him for his behaviour. No guidance. Phil and April Margera were more like his roommates and buddies. And Don Vito... LOL. Well nuff said. Bad family.

No. Maybe just try not being a dick to 75% of Forum members 100% of the time.

Yeah I reckon he won’t be here in the next 2-3 years. Really shocking watching that video. Not even recognisable. He’s aged 30 years in the space of 10.

Not ideal.

Updated lists for the deaths of Lagomarsino and Shultz. Interesting to note that the Reagan administration now has no surviving WWII veterans and yet the four preceding cabinets have at least one.

Wow. Big one. A unique DDP pick too.

That's a big word for you. Don't overexert yourself now.

Zzzzzzz.

Death of Dai Davies makes it 5/40. The Drop 40 is very strong this year (minus a few silly picks like QEII). I can see up to 25 of them going before the year is over. Anyone know what the Drop 40 hit record is and what year?

This report sets it straight: "The former Golden Eaglets’ assistant coach, according to close relatives died of complications from COVID-19 on Tuesday night. It was gathered that Shofoluwe battled with COVID-19 at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital before his death. Shofoluwe was earlier diagnosed of COVID-19 contrary to the speculation of a brain disease."

Apologies if already posted but this is quite fun. Captain Tom Moore appearing as a contestant on Blankety Blank in 1983!

I think they also reach out to families to collaborate on some of them. When I contacted the Guardian last year about the death of Johnny Gregory, they responded saying they would look into it for their Other Lives section. Quite a clever concept, not having to depend solely on the hired obituary writers means they can produce more write ups faster.

Not sure that’s the case. 2017 interviews with them here, published in The Express of all places! No more interviews probably owing to a lack of media interest is more likely. Both of them had uncredited roles, they’re barely notable. You say “3 deaths away” from Kornman being the last, but nobody online seems wholly convinced that Silas Hathaway is alive. Firstly, someone posted news of his death on a Voy notice board 2 years ago but it was removed due to being unsourced. Secondly, when he was ~98, he was reportedly quite ill. So could very well just be the 2 Watsons + Kornman living.

Updated both the 60s and 70s Supremes entries for the death of Wilson. Bit of a shock and the media are saying she "died suddenly" which makes you wonder if it was unexpected. Above is the the 70s entry with the bigger charting lineup. Just Ross left from the original group now. Birdsong was another 60s member, Terrell and Laurence joined in the 70s.

Former California congressman (1974–1993) Robert J. Lagomarsino (wiki) supposedly dead at 94. Nothing on the Twitter or FB. Found a photo of him on Twitter from October where he looked pretty frail so probably true.

Oh the cruel irony (in an Alanis Morissette type sense) of him going before his missus, "honest-to-god-I'm-really-dying-this-time-guys" Ami Brown.
