Not necessarily - they might have gone for Vic instead of Mark E. Smith (or any of the hits still to come).

Vic Damone, dead at 89. Three teams selected him in the DDP

D'Arcy Short. Not African-American. Presumably his mother is exempt from criticism.

Dead All Over

That's good; I'm impressed. It would have taken me longer than 10 minutes to get into the diving suit...

Fucking Daily Heil clickbait headline. Masturbation doesn't kill you, being stupid kills you. Otherwise, presumably, had he just been sitting next to a heater trying to melt slices of cheese on his body while wearing the pantyhose, raincoat, diving suit and plastic bag over his head but doing the Die Welt crossword, he wouldn't have died.

Well spotted. Not the first time I've done that.

Blind bisexual goose stuck in love triangle with two swans dies aged 40 There's a headline you don't see every day.

Thirty Years ago today Gone, but not forgotten : https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/feb/08/enoch-powell-plaque-opposition-bishop-of-wolverhampton

I'm otherwise engaged. No-one wants to hear me singing (I'm assuming that was the type of performance you were on about)

He's been doing The Last Farewell since 1971.

I might be late to the party here, but apparently toilet bowl night-lights are a 'thing'. They're - ahem - motion activated.

and Marlon Brando's libido.

Barry Manilow seems to be on a farewell tour (dates in London in September, should you feel so inclined). He was also on a farewell tour in 2015. Many more farewell tours and he could keel over during one of them.

Of the cast of The Magnificent Seven, only three remain, 82 year old Rosenda Monteros, who played Petra, and two child actors, both identified as 'Boy with O'Reilly', namely Danny Bravo, now aged 70 and Mario Navarro, 68-69. I'd imagine Monteros will get extensive coverage when she goes, not so much the other two, though they do have Wikipedia entries, so we should at least find out eventually!

Harvey S. Firestone became tired of life eighty years ago, aged 69.

Tom Petty's 40th Anniversary tour wasn't supposed to to be a farewell tour, and he did technically get to the end of it alive, so, no I can't think of anyone either.

235 years go Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was put on permanent gardening leave, aged 67 or 68.

Eva Marie Saint will be most disappointed you've killed her off.(As would I, she's in one of my teams). Can't help with Ben Wagner though.

Terry Perkins, one of the leaders of the Hatton Garden safe-deposit raid, has died in prison aged 69.

Twenty-five years ago, at age 34, stuntman Tip Tipping was killed in a parachuting accident, filming for the BBC series 999, in which he was re-enacting a near-fatal parachute jump. He also had some acting credits, including Private Crowe in Aliens, seen below.

Is Castro dead yet? Yes, and so's his oldest son, Fidel.

That was me realising how many Kevin Bacon films there are.

The crew of Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-107 all killed when the craft broke up on re-entry, 15 years ago. David M. Brown - Rick D. Husband - Laurel Clark - Kalpana Chawla - Michael P. Anderson - William C. McCool - Ilan Ramon.

Leonid Kadenyuk, independent Ukraine's first man in space, dead aged 67. He was a payload specialist on Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-87).
