    Couple of minor rockabilly deaths this week - Mac Curtis and Marvin Rainwater. You don't really want links, do you?

     

    Marvin Rainwater. The only way that guy could sound any more country is if his name was Cletus McMethteeth

     

    And despite this he still scored a UK no.1 in the 50s with his song "Whole Lotta Woman"!

    Tried the exact same thing. Plenty of Roads but no Michael, I think we can assume it was his stage name.

     

    Very odd that no obituary was ever produced and the media has failed to notice it at all. Though the same thing appears to have happened last year with Leila Danette.

    Although we already have a rumours page, I thought it was time a thread was creating for people solely declared dead on Wikipedia but with no obituaries yet circulating the internet. Over the past few months or so I've been scribbling down names of people who have been declared dead on the site and 90% of them turned out to be true, but in some instances I had to wait several weeks for anything to come out.

     

    Some obituaries can be quite tricky to find so it'd be good for some of the more experienced deathpoolers to be informed so they can help dig an obit out whether it be found on Google, through Twitter (which I've found to be the most useful recently) or even an archived search.

     

    4 names for now, all declared dead on Wiki in the last few days, no obits as of yet!

     

    Sheila Wright (b. 1925) Labour MP; 1979-1983

    http://en.wikipedia....i/Sheila_Wright

    *Page says she died on July 5 after a long illness - nothing on net, but nor can I find any pics/much info about her. I reckon she was a really obscure backbencher.

    EDIT: death notice - http://www.bmdsonline.co.uk/28909485?s_source=tmmi_bmem

     

    Draga Matkovic (b. 1907) Croatian-born German classical pianist

    http://en.wikipedia..../Draga_Matkovic

    *Deutsch language page states she died in Bad Reichenhall on July 29th - I believe she's also a DDP pick

    EDIT: obituary - http://www.domus-mea...hren-gestorben/

     

    Benjamin Walker (b. 1913) British Indian-born English writer

    http://en.wikipedia...._Walker_(author)

    *According to page, died 30 July aged 99 in Teddington, England. Uses several pseudonyms.

    EDIT: obituary - http://www.suttongua...enjamin_Walker/

     

    V. Dakshinamoorthy (b. 1919) Indian carnatic musician

    http://en.wikipedia....Dakshinamoorthy

    *Page edited to say he died today (Aug 2nd)

    EDIT: obituary - http://www.deccanchr...thy-passes-away

     

    I will post more as soon as they flag up on my watchlist. Hopefully posting them here will speed up things up and also help to dispel rumours.

    Important to note that both Ian Paisley and his wife Eileen have taken a leave of absence from the House of Lords as of last week.

     

    Maybe both of them have booked themselves into a Dignitas clinic? We can but hope...
