She was a public figure and had a wikipedia page before any known illness .She would count, I realize it's a bit of a contradiction but political spouses ,kids and parents often times are part of the dog and pony show of politics with a tangible role to play,unlike say if Adele's Mom popped up in a Daily Mail article cause Adele announced her cancer that's more a case ffbi/fresh corpse territory.

Paper Boi

Just a bit of clarification here since someone mentioned a name to me in private that I think some might considerer a gray area. Let's say the parent or sibling of someone famous die's and they had a profession that made them marginally famous Ie they owned a Popular Art Gallery in London or they were Mayor of a town of 50,000 as long as their death notice mentions their reason of notability then it's acceptable. Even then it has to be something someone could reasonably obit from so for example Patrick Swayze's dance instructor mum would not count .

McCain I think it's days or weeks for him

Former Washington DC NFL QB Billy Kilmer turns 80 next year. Considering he had a drinking problem for much of his playing career,dude is already close to Overtime as far as life expentency goes for Alcoholic's.

I had a wrestling theme team this year and he wasn't even close to my longlist of names I considered , I thought he was akin to someone like Jack LaLane (aka would be still be alive and able to beat up grown men at 90).

Another old school wrestling death the same day as Bruno Paul Jones is dead at 75 Best remembered to Us audiences as a Manager in the 1980's leading mostly mid and lowcarder's in Paul Jones Army when Jim Crockett Promotions aka WCW went national.Dude was a huge singles and tag team star in Florida and the Mid Atlantic region in the 60s and 70s.

Say your 1st p pick died before May 1,your 2nd would to 1st 3rd to 2nd etc... and your 1st backup would be 21st

With recent developments in Syria and possible WW3 on the horizon,that can't be good for the health of 84 yo Syrian singer Sabah Fakhri(a legend of music in the Arab World)

I think with HHH/Steph in charge they are gonna keep her on the payroll for life. and have people babysit her like they do with Flair .It's more then likely she will avoid a Chyna/Sunny situation

Golf Legend Gary Player He posed for ESPN the Magazine's Body Issue at 77,and in 2016 at age 80 he was doing push up's and giving fitness tips in Golf Digest Wouldn't be shocking at all if he makes 100 or close to it

No geriatrics are better at fighting off death then heads of state and religious leaders

To Bou1 and Prophet-I suggest adding some back up name's in case any of you picks die's before May 1
