Chris Mortensen The ESPN Analyst is taking time off due to a Throat Cancer diagnosis

She is so rich she can hire several robot maids and Tony Danza to watch the kids while she is torturing Vegas concert goer's

Why is a 25 year old person picked "Underage"?

It's very possible if she died a couple hours ago it is not reported until a day or so later.

I think the reason Diem and Joey Kovar got NYT obits and other reality star's dont is because The Real World is the original reality show in the Us and predates everything else by almost a decade. It has a name value brand even more watched reality shows don't ,it is thee reality show for a generation of people attached to their youth even if almost no one has watched TRW proper in a decade. Also if Andrew Smith does not get a NYT Obit that would not be shocking because NY is not a College Sports hub the way certain other regions and cities of the Us are.

Picked him for the same reason since it never mentioned the specific type of cancer he had,I just thought he looked similiar to Sam Simon-Patrick Swayze their last few months.

Trish Keenan lead singer of the Dreampop band Broadcast died of pneumonia 5 years ago today at age 42

I am not sure if that one counts or it's considered regional,this Telegraph one does though http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/12097701/Albert-McQuarrie-MP-obituary.html

Blowfly The X Rated Old School Rapper has entered hospice care with terminal liver cancer and multiple organ failure. Not sure if anyone picked him for any Deathpools but if they did seems to be a case of how many days.

Srnicek died in Dec and didn't fall into a coma until that month as well. It's very likely he would have been picked by the committee had he survived a few more days.

Also a link to him from their main UK page http://www.theguardian.com/profile/guardian-sport http://imgur.com/IdDM6Ll

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jan/12/andrew-smith-butler-university-basketball-star Not sure if this counts but The Guardian has a Smith obit

I'd say Harrington is the only real major miss. Irvin was old but looked in decent heath in recent photos when you google his name,add to that he is only someone who would be known to hardcore baseball fans and isn't a lock for the required obit. And Feek is certainly a case of noteworthy enough to Obit but kind of not famous enough under the unspoken rule of who is picked under the top 50 list every year.

David Bowie quote from his page " January 10 2016 - David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief." According to his twitter and facebook page he is dead. No news outlets have picked this up yet so it could just be someone who hacked into his account.

Carson and Fiorina are toast and even 10% is a generous odds for Bush at this point. And O'Malley probably only is the Democratic nom if someone assasinates Clinton and Sanders

Russians are the one's who complain about Palin now cause she is a nosey neighbour and always stairing at them from her house.

If he is alive 11 months from now I think the committee should consider him.

Looks like Otis Clay will find out if "The Only Way Is Up " is indeed true

Everyone who has her as their joker is hoping for Wednesday

With more theme teams and players of an ambulance chasey/shark nature I think the only way we see situations of players getting picked by 200+ the way Thatcher and Mandela were is like this years Jimmy Carter scenario where someone old and well known gets a Brain/Pancreatic Cancer diagnosis in the news in Oct/Nov and its highly publicized for even the most casual of player to pick up on . Even then I think Carter will not be picked by that many because he claimed to be in remission during Dec and a lot of the sharks dropped him.

Kris Travis

Christoper Lee with Lemmy a close 2nd Though on a personal level I would say Dusteh

His college coach Brad Stevens now of the Nba Chicago Bulls skipped a game in the middle of the season to go see him. I think he might be in a count down the days scenario.

Also Replace the word he with she and it sums it up

Bill Foster Former NCAA Basketball Coach at Duke,Rutgers,Northwestern etc is dead at 86
