I think the deathlist did a great job picking people from a wide variety of fields. I think at most there is only 3-4 names on there I would say are parochial, but I imagine if there was a canadian or us version of deathlist and you were trying to include a intl list of 50 you would still every year get a few names here and there that are mostly parochial.

Here are 3 people due to age who would be reasonable options Monty Hall The Let's Make A Deal Host is 91,and would probably get at least a Daily Mail Obit since he was a staple of American tv for decades. Alice Munro Her short story The Bear Came Over The Mountain which was later adapted in the Oscar/Bafta nominated film Away From Her is 81 and has cancelled appearance in recent years for health concerns. Gordie Howe Turns 85 this month and is considered one of the top 2 or 3 Hockey players ever. I assume almost no other hockey player will ever get a UK Obit if he doesn't.

http://ncronline.org...-francis-george Some not so good news for those who have added Cardinal Francis George to their DDP Team. He is now reportedly cancer free.

http://www.foxnews.c...ce-report-says/ Kelly Osbourne was rushed to the hospital after having a seizure on the set of her show Fashion Police, whatever that is.

Death in 3's Al Molinaro to join Hugo Chavez and Paul Bearer in a fat guy trilogy

That sucks and is kind of unexcpected. He was still doing his thing as Percy Pringle in the Indies fairly recently.

And being that there are probably 100+ wrestlers picked in the DDP besides him it would be only fitting he ends up the 1st big wrestling death of the year.

In retrospect jumping out of the helicopter last year was probably not good for her health.

After adding Cliburns death to the equation

Biggest death of the year so far I'd say. One of the modern greats. Amazed he's never been on the list! To be honest, I'd never heard of him before the start of the year when his name appeared on lots of lists. Maybe the committee hadn't either. I never did either until shortling team for last year, he must be pretty big had bbc obit instantly. http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-21607436

If everyone can keep up with their current pace from the first 2 months it means I will have 18 hits and finish tied for 10th place at the end of the year.

I saw this posted on a tennis message board and thought its relevant . http://www.vancouver...2465/story.html 22 year old Rebecca Marino of Canada who was ranked as high 38 in 2011 announced she was retiring Wed then the next day a story breaks that she has severe depression and it was aggrivated by twitter commments and such. A lot of people are speculating she might be suicidal or something so she might be a potential pick in the future for the more adventerous risk takers in Deathpools.It's a weird case cause most diehard tennis followers barely know who she was but the stress of "fame" was too much on her.

Stand up comic Ray Combs killed himself at 40 although he was mostly known for hosting Family Feud Drake Sather probably not well known but co-wrote the film Zoolander and wrote for the tv shows Saturday Night Live and News Radio killed himself at 44

Not sure what his UK Obit chances would be,but for the Lakers trifecta Tex Winter the creater of the triangle offense and Assistant to all Phil Jacksons Nba titles with the Bulls and Lakers turns 91 in 6 days At his induction to the basketball Hall Of Fame in 2011 his son had to give a speech for him as he could not speak from the effects of previous years strokes.

Chyna,Dennis Rodman and Leif Garrett it's only a matter of when with them not if.

The cast of that show is cursed more then The Golden Girls

As an Agnostic I am not sure if I am giving anything up or not. Could go either way.

R.I.P. Olympic Greco-Roman Wrestling It may date back to Ancient Times as well as the earliest of the Modern Olympics but since it is not dominated by Usa,China or Western Europe it will be dropped after the 2016 Olympiad.

That's rather rude of him after I pick him for my DDP Team

Not immortal but her and Ronnie Biggs have planned to go together to the World Cup in Qatar

28 27 24 according to numerical patterns being formed the next death must be 19 Fidel Castro
