I figured he probably would be a spring or summer hit so anywhere in a middle spot would be a safe way to go.

Don't think my team is posted publicly yet 1.Mario Soares-dead 2.Errol Christie 3.King Michael I of Romania 4.Sara Coward-dead 5.John Wetton-dead 6.Steve Hewlett 7.Gord Downie 8.Leah Bracknell 9.Rose Marie 10.Roy Clark subs Just Fontaine Ian St. John

After watching Bruno's interview from last year on the WWE Network I feel confident in saying he just might outlive everyone on this list despite being the oldest. Bruno was already a top star in his 20's and was able to keep a lighter schedule and not have to deal with the physical wear and tear of his peers.

Had no idea when I picked him how famous he was in the UK, just he was famous enough to obit. Him being in the drop 40 was an added bonus.

Hopefully my team doesn't try and get fancy,just need them to run out the clock.

What awful parents to give their kid the name Ben with that surname. Must have endured a lot of bullying when he was young.

But that'll cut off a lot of people. Not just FFBI types... Yes, a lot more nobodies. Most of the" famous" for being for being ill" types usually come as a package deal btwn The Mirror,Daily Mail and Express. Getting rid of Daily Mail might stop person "famous in the Us decades ago" aka an Irwin Corey or a geriatric Hall Of Fame Hockey player from netting an occasional obit or a trainwreck Us reality star someone takes a punt on. It would have no actual effect on the top of table teams vulturing with cancer mum hits.

Even if someone was only known to people familiar with a certain field if they were famous before their illness then they aren't vault candidates. The tricky thing would be siblings and parents of famous people. Like the McGiffin sister or last years Vanessa Hudgen's dad is a clear case of got a mention because of relative but what happens when someone of marginal notability dies and they are related to someone superfamous. For example Angelina Jolie's brother has bare bones imdb credits but I have seen people scrape daily mail obits with similiar credits and also some people not mentioned on wikipedia or imdb of their death for years with similiar credits.

87 +Pancreatic Cancer=Slim chance of seeing Jan 1,though he probably only would qualify for something like Deathrace as I don't see him as someone who would get national obit writeups.

Daily Mail for those with him on DDP http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-4201330/Former-New-Zealand-captain-Steve-Sumner-dies-61.html Though I am sure he will get more US/UK obit's when they do Wed updates

List brought forward. Mademoiselle Riva zapped.

I'd say Wetton so far is the only headscratch miss. Can see why maybe they didn't think Soares met the fame level or that putting people over 105 like Hollingworth,Youguang was not bueno. And in regards to Sarstedst,Snowden and Hurt there was no news that indicated they were dead certs.

I think this is actually the worst pick of the year and rivals Fergie Fredriksen for possible worst DL pick of all time It doesn't appear he is famous or notable for anything besides his last name and being a Billionare(via inheritance). At least Hollingworth and Zhou Youguang though not famous had things they were notable for.

Biggest miss for me is Jay Clark as I decided to pick against him thinking he would only be worth 1 point,but he had no takers.

Despite the straight forward nature of the scoring in this game it should be interesting to see what kind of different tactics everyone uses.
