Greenspan gave loads of interviews last year, and I had thought the decrease in appearances since perhaps signalled something. But, he re-emerged 2 weeks ago to give a half hour interview. Looks and sounds about the same – somewhat frail, but still mentally there, and not giving the impression that he's about to kick the bucket imminently. He's one of those names who could just die rather suddenly at his age (a bit like Shultz), but with little to go on and with him still being relatively active, it would be better to drop him in favour of a stronger pick IMO.

According to his Wiki page, he introduced the Tits buildings, the Tits alternative, the Tits group and the Tits metric. What a Tit!

Updated for the death of John Miles.

Short clip of her from September. I'd say safe enough to drop her in 2022.

From FitzRoy's Times obituary: "After the duke’s death the duchess moved into an apartment off the King’s Road in Chelsea, passing comment among friends about lapses in etiquette in films such as The Young Victoria (2009). After watching some episodes of the Netflix series The Crown, she turned to Lady Charteris of Amisfield (obituary, April 20, 2017), another lady-in-waiting, and asked in horror: “Can the general public see this?” Shortly before the first lockdown she was visited by the Queen, who delivered in person the traditional royal card to mark her 100th birthday."

That doesn't make him a Neo-Nazi either, it just makes him a cunt.

M. Sarada Menon (wiki), India's first female psychiatrist, dead at 98.

Prithipal Singh Gill (wiki) dead just shy of 101.

Guardian obit for Roy Holder. Hallelujah.

Brian Clark (wiki), British playwright and screenwriter best known for Whose Life is it Anyway?, dead at 89 from an aortic aneurysm. Unpicked in the DDP, but mentioned by @YoungWillz a few times before.

Updated for the death of Stonewall Jackson. I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of UK coverage of his death.

That's not what I think. Please don't tell me what I think. Thanks.

Dying at 87 is unexpected?

Pretty sure the “committee” don’t look at either.

Agreed. Whether we’re presenting ideas for the DL or our own deadpooling teams, they belong in the same Ideas and Possibilities thread. This should be deleted and merged.

I somehow doubt it.

Fraudster Singh will be smiling with glee. The limelight is back on him.

Another pointless contribution from you.

Fortune FitzRoy, Duchess of Grafton (wiki), being reported dead aged 101. Source is a tweet from Sky News journalist Alastair Bruce here. A Mistress of the Robes to Elizabeth II (1967–2021) and the widow of Hugh FitzRoy, Duke of Grafton (1919–2011). A pick for 3 DDP teams... (second pic is of her in 2019, still performing the state opening of Parliament)

Sad news, this one. Edward Shames (wiki), dead at 99. As you stated, he was the last living officer of Easy Company ("Band of Brothers"). PFC Bradford Freeman (b. 1924) is now the last surviving member.

Gets a Times death notice, which should pave way for an obit, either in The Times or in Guardian Other Lives maybe?

Kinza Clodumar (wiki), dead at 76. Means that no Presidents of Nauru prior to 2003 are alive.

His wife, Charlotte Mailliard Shultz (wiki), heiress, diplomat and socialite, dead at 88. EDIT: Damn. Ninja'd by @Thatcher

Took 2 months but got a Grauniad obit.
